Christmas 2008

We had a lot of fun this Christmas.  The kids were spoiled, the parents had fun, and Grandpa Cobb came to visit.  We really enjoyed all that is Christmas.   Merry Christmas to everyone.  I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!

Winter Fun

The kids got to play outside.  They had a lot of fun and Brayden was in Heaven being pulled around on the sled by his big brother!!  It also kept them out of my hair for awhile as Josh is home for about a month.

FHE - Pretzels and Ginger Bread House

So for FHE we were going to decorate our Ginger Bread house.  Well, as if that wasn't enough, we decided to make pretzels as well.  It was our fist try at home made pretzels, and they turned out yummy even though I left them in to long.  I also learned that smaller is better!!

Overall it was a fun night.  Messy, but fun!!

Once in a life time shot!

This is the last thing that I needed to catch up on with my posts.  This is a once in a life time shot.  The moon and Jupiter and Venus are in such a formation and in the right spot to see a frowny face.  It was really cool!!  The funniest part though, in Australia (southern hemisphere) they will see a smiley face!!  Pretty cool huh?!!  We thought so.

Thanksgiving 2008

So for Thanksgiving we went up to Maine to celebrate with Josh's family.  We haven't seen them in about 5 years, and some of his family had not ever met the kids.  So, it was joyous for a lot of people.

This is Evan with his Great-Grandad Cobb.  He is a wonderful man and we just love him!!

Evan lounging out.  He's such a cutie!!

Evan and Brayden played with this dog so much that Grandad and Nana gave it to them!!  They also got a cat.  They love these animals.

This is their cousin Chase.  This was the first time we got to see him.  He is one years old.  That is his Mom Amber in the picture.  She is Josh's sister.  It was fun to see them and to meet Chase.

Overall, Thanksgiving was a lot of fun.  I don't have pictures from his Dad's house yet, they are on his Dad's camera, but when I do, I know there will be a couple of choice pictures I will have to share!!  

Happy Thanksgiving!!  

Decorating for Christmas

We got back from Thanksgiving in Maine, and the next day had to decorate for Christmas.  Josh and I were both sick, but we have our priorities straight, and so the decorating still happened!

This is all of us putting hooks on the balls.

This is Brayden cleaning up the needles.  He really liked this job!

This is Josh putting up the Angel.

This is our cute kids by the tree skirt.  It is animated and lights up and sings.  We really like it!

Jennie's Birthday wish

One of the things that I got for my Birthday this year was the husband who would do whatever task I needed done!  This was the most death defying (not really), but it was fun to see him up there.  Evan kept telling him to be careful and not to fall.  He was worried!  It was cute.  (oh, he was hanging up blinds.)

Josh's field trip

Josh took a trip to the USDA headquarters with his class.  This is the only picture I got back.  Very fitting I guess of what they did for that trip!!
