Merry Christmas!

I don't think she was awake! We actually had to wake up all the kids in order to stay on time for our day. Once Bella opened up her first present all you heard was "I wanna open another one!".



Riley got her ultimate gift from Papa! It was a white Nintendo DS! She was so excited she ran over to Papa and grabbed him around the neck! I thought for a minute that she was going to squeeze his head off! She was very happy!



Kaleb wasn't sure what to expect from Grammie Karens when he opened his presents. He received a Discovery Channel Globe that lights up at night and shows all the stars as well. It is really cool!



Now Haley got exactly what she wanted! Rachel Ray's brand of pots and pans! When she opened the present I think she was so excited she pee'd in her pants a little bit! No really she did! She actually laid them all out on the floor later that night and took pictures of each one! She is crazy!

Cook Plumbings First Van

I know its not the best looking van, but its my first van. It runs well and it has low miles. Its a 1993 Aerostar Cargo Van that has 86,000 miles. Its clean on the inside and has some minor dents and scratches on the outside. It will work well for what I need to do.

Boy or Girl?

We found out last Wednesday that we will be adding another beautiful little GIRL to our growing family. Please forward all my in coming mail to the loony bin (just kidding). I think kyle is still trying to get used to the idea that we wont be having a boy but he will get over it.

First Snow!

We received our first snow last night in our new home! Chewy also got to experience it for the first time. He was running around like a crazy dog then hit a patch of ice on the sidewalk and flew into the street! He is crazy but I got him to settle down for his picture! The funny thing is that this is barely an inch and church was cancelled! Woohoo! I mean I am very dissapointed.

F. H. E.

Yesterday for family home evening we went to pick out our tree and then had dinner and came home to decorate it. Kyle put on the lights which he loves to do ;) and then the kids got to put on the ornaments. They loved dancing around to the Christmas music and being crazy. We get the kids a new ornament every Christmas and it brings back memories every time we put them on the tree.
