Christmas 2009

How lucky Steve and I were to have all of our children, their spouses,grandchildren,my parents and Paul and Joanne together for Christmas breakfast.

The food was great and the company even better. Thanks to Trey and Jenna for all their help.Mom and Dad for the fudge and cinnamon rolls,Julie for her yummy monkey bread,Brinton and Charlotte for the Naked Juice and Amanda and Brannon for la leche.

We enjoyed Christmas dinner at Brinton and Charlotte's. I really really liked that!

We have not been able to get everyone together for a nice professional family picture. I've decided that........ I love this picture! This is just us............!

Its Polar Express Time

Drake and Nixin are wondering why that guy in the red suit gave them these bells?

We had a great time at the Polar Express with Brinton,Charlotte and the kids, Weavers too!

Everyone looks ready to go. Charlotte's mom made Cote's and Brexton's hat and scarf last year.

We are on the train after an hour delay and we are ready to go.

The girls!

Brexton and G-MamaWho loved the cookies?

Santa is on the train

!!!!!!!Brinton Graduates From ASU!!!!!!!!!

I am very proud to say that my son Brinton graduated from ASU today! He has worked hard going to school and working full time to financially support his family. I am very proud of this major accomplishment and for the wonderful person (husband,father,son,brother,friend,etc.)he has become. I also have to thank Charlotte for the love, support and hard work she has put in. She is a great wife and mother and has held down the home fort!

The Tradition Continues - Gingerbread Houses

Thanks to my Mom, Ina Wimsatt, our family has enjoyed the tradition of building Gingerbread Houses at Christmas time. Some things have changed.....my mom made her gingerbread houses from scratch for my brothers and myself and for her grandkids. I however visit CostCo and purchase my gingerbread houses. One thing remains the same and that is everyone has a great time!

Nixin will be into this next year.
Cote and Brexton enjoy the tradition as Brinton always has!


Notice the clever tie to keep Crew and Cole's roof on.
Welcome to our tradition Amanda!
