Christmas 2009

What a cute Gingerbread house! It was fun decorating

and of course eating!

Konnley made the tree and helped decorate the house.

Jaden decorated a gingerbread man and helped with the house.



Jacey decorated the other gingerbread man and helped with the house.

Kamryn mostly ate the candy and helped with the house!

Oh! Christmas morning is finally here! No one could open presents until

everyone was awake and had EATEN breakfast! It was such fun torturing

the kids just a little longer! It must of been agony for them waiting for mom

and dad to eat breakfast! Kamryn didn't want to wake up either.

The girls noticed the doll house all set up and ready to play!

They were so excited!

Kamryn was very pleased with her marble set, pet-shop pets and clothes!

It was soooo cute to watch her rip through the presents and squeal when

she opened them.

Jacey will never get bored with her doll house and polly pockets!

She carries the dolls around with her everywhere!

Konnley got plenty of stuff to keep him buisy! A rocket, legos, switch-blade flying thing and

games put a twinkle in his eye!

Jaden got legos, bionicles, army guys and games - he was so excited!

Jill got a weight set (what are you trying to say, yes I know I need to exercise!) iron/steamer, apron, shoes and dress socks.

Kelly got clothes and shoes among other things!!

The family got lots of games, video games, books and a Polar Express Train set!

Happy moments!

So Cute!

The Doll house was the favorite!

Playing with the train set was a blast! The train even lets off smoke (stinks too)!

We read the polar express book and watched the movie. We even got big bells

to ring. This Christmas was so fun! We had fun on the day of Christmas Eve,

we got up early and made goodies for the neighbors. It was fun for the kids to deliver them.

We enjoyed Christmas so much this year! For the first time our shopping was nearly complete before Thanksgiving so we had a nice peaceful month of December! We had a Christmas dinner at our house with the parents and in-laws. And our entire family had a get-together at my

brother Matt's new house in West Kaysville. They have 3 horses too!

Thanks to Santa and everyone for making this Christmas Season so great!

We love all of our family and friends and hope that 2010 is a prosperous year in every way!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Jaden's Baptism

Here is Jaden ready to be baptized. His 8th birthday was in August, but he

was baptized on October 10th after the buisy hunting season was over and after

getting ready for school to start!

Here are Jaden's family that attended the baptism. It was

a very special day and we are very happy for Jaden!




Jaden was confirmed by his Grandpa Duffin!

Uncle Matt was the one to baptize Jaden!

We had a get-together at the house after and ate and played games - it was a great day!
