Christmas 2008

Well, after we got back from the cruise there was no time to pause. My mom and dad stayed in Boise for Christmas because the plane could not fly onto Idaho Falls due to the weather. So that was fun times. We spent Christmas Eve at my sister's house in Nampa along with my parents and then spent Christmas Day at our home. And yes we did get a dog for Christmas. She is a yellow lab and her name is Cassie Belle. Then we headed up to Chelan, Washington on Christmas day to spend the weekend with Aaron's family. We rented a nice place there and enjoyed hot tubbing, sledding, tubing, snowmobiling, dancing, and lots of family fun. It was a blast. Enjoy the slideshow below.

Cruise

So we got back from our Cruise and I am still getting caught up on somethings, as you can see. We left December 13, 2008 and flew to Florida where we ported out at Port Canavaral on the 14th. We were at sea for about 36 hours which brought us to Labadee, Haiti. Then we went to Ochios Rios, Jamaica then Georgetown, Cayman Island then Cozumel, Mexico. It was so awesome. We finally made it home late, late on the 22nd. Thanks to my mother-in-law who made this all possible (she was the brave one that watched the kids the whole time while we were gone.). We couldn't have done it without her- Thank you mom. Don't forget to see the slideshow below.

Carribean Cruise

Wood floors here we come!

Here is the final result of the wood floors. It was a lot of work (for the boys), but it turned out great. Good thing we finished it just in time for us the leave on our cruise. What a work in progress.

We added painting the walls on top of all this mess.

OHHHHHHHH! What have we done and what do we do next.

Thanksgiving in Rexburg

We went to Rexburg for Thanksgiving with the Holloway clan. We spent Thanksgiving day at my mom and dad's church. It was so much fun. There was a fun blowup jump toy, popcorn machine, cotton candy maching, volleyball, basketball, lots of food, and tons of talking. It was great. Jumping Fun!

We then made our way to the Cabin in Island Park. We had fun in the snow as you can see.

We also got to cut down Christmas Trees. We let the kids each find their own for their rooms. They loved that! The only rule was that they had to carry the tree from where is was cut down back to the truck. This rule will always be in place.

Allieand Daddy's B-day

Aaron celebrated his 29th birthday along with Allie celebrating her fourth birthday. Allie had a Little Mermaid princess party. She invited a few friends over and they played put the crown on the princess, musical cake walk, and other fun games. They had fun with the blow horns, as you can see.

Of course we did a cheese cake for daddy's 29th birthday. Good job babe on blowing out ALL the candles.

She had a lot of fun helping me make the Ariel cake. Good thing my friend Raquel had the stuff for me to do this.

The birthday person gets to pick what they want of where they want to go for breakfast. Allie chose IHOP like her brother (of course).
