You Helped Make Us

For Joey's Christmas present, the kids got a jar and put in "365 reasons why we love you" (it's only about 45 right now, but they're planning on constantly refilling the jar.)  While they were making this gift for Joey, I was busy helping Sylvia write down reasons why she loves her dad so I didn't get to see everything that Luke and Isabel were writing down.  By the way, most of Sylvia's reasons were, "because I love him!"  Tonight Joey picked out a reason that Luke thought of...

Merry Christmas

Anual Weekend Before Christmas Saint George, UT Visit

Over the weekend we visited Grandma and Grandpa Vincent in Saint George, Utah.  We stayed the first night in Flagstaff, Arizona.  The kids loved the snow (even though it was the hard kind) but for Joey and me, it helped reaffirm our stance on never living anywhere that frequently gets below 50 degrees during the day.

Christmas program/talent show.  I didn't get pictures, but Luke passed out a maze that he did, Isabel played Row Row Row your Boat on the guitar and Sylvia danced around in a dress up.

Here is Joey reading The Cremation of Sam McGee.  (Take a good look now before Joey makes me take this picture off.)

Warning: The rest of these pictures are for grandparents of course.

Sylvia in her fancy Christmas dress.  Oh and by the way, don't call her gorgeous, according to her, she is NOT gorgeous, she is pretty, cute or beautiful.

Hazel in her fancy new Christmas dress.  GROW SOME HAIR KID!

Isabel in her fancy new Christmas dress.

Luke with some boring boy clothes on enduring another picture.
