Christmas 2007






















The past two weeks have been a wonderful time of celebration and family. We celebrated our 2nd anniversary at The Raven Golf Course in Phoenix. The weather was perfect and the golf course was so beautiful! I love living in Arizona!


After playing at the park during the day with my family to celebrate the birthday of our niece Raya, we spent Christmas Eve with Keith's family. We enjoyed a service project at the park setting up all-natural bird feeders, and then had a yummy dinner. We ended the festivities with a family Nativity, and then sent the kids off to bed.


Christmas Day was wonderful also. Keith and I enjoyed opening gifts at our home in the morning and then going to his parents house for a yummy brunch, more presents, and games at the park. Very fun times. I need to work on my catching skills though.


Christmas Night was spent at my parents house with all my siblings and my cousins from Peoria. Food was fabulous and we even enjoyed a drum concert from my Aunt on boxes. She really does play the drums very well, but we didn't have drums, so we gathered about 5 boxes of different sizes and let her at them while we sang Christmas songs. You'd be surprised at how great the "box drums" actually sound! If I can figure out how to edit video, I'll post the drum concert here.


We were able to help with running the hosting at the temple lights this year. We were in charge of 5 nights throughout December and last night was our last turn. It was so nice to spend so much time on the temple grounds, especially at this time of year.


This Christmas season has been great! We loved spending so much time with our families and having our siblings who live out of state come down. We hope your Christmas was just as blessed.
