December 2008!

December started with decorating and putting up the abnoxiously large Christmas tree. Pretty but, it's a 4-5 hour project.

Ray celebrated his 21st birthday!! HEHE

Breanna and her friends kicked off Christmas vacation with a party!! Girl Power!

Family Arrived!! Here's Bre with Grandma Lindsay

Here's our family at the Landmark restaurant. Really good food. A little fancy at night with kids...hence they put us in a private room. I'm pretty sure it was for the benefit of the other guests :) Needless to say we still left a impression.....about 5 minutes before this photo Braden very slyly and sneaky I might add stripped down to just a diaper and ran into the main dining room with a smile and a laugh!! It was definately a FUNNY/embarrasing moment, it's too bad I was in such a hurry to stop him that I forgot to grab the camera. Next time :)

After the Landmark we headed down the street to see the lights at the temple...so pretty and quite fun. Braden fell into the pond about 2 minutes before this photo and was shivering....poor baby.
