I Just wanted to let everybody know, my little sister Briana is ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it because I still think of her as a darling little 8 year old. Anyway, Ryan Reid proposed on January 24, 2009. They will probably be married sometime in July. Congratulations guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas morning! We all had a blast!

Christmas Eve and seeing santa AGAIN! The kids got to open one gift from santa and Ariana got a crown and earring set, but Connor was so upset that he didnt even want to open his. Maybe he will like santa better next year!

We had fun putting up the Christmas tree. Bryan decided he wanted a real tree this year and it was so nice. It smelled so good and the kids had such a blast decorating it!

Here is the rest of us at the Christmas party; Mom, Ranja, Connor and Ariana. Ariana insisted on bringing her baby (she can't seem to go anywhere without it) and she had a blast playing with grandma's cell phone. She loved seeing Santa, and was absolutely thrilled to get a gift bag (which was filled with a clemantine that she thought was a tiny pumpkin, 2 pieces of candy and about 6 handfulls of peanuts) By the time Christmas came, she had already seen Santa 5 different times! This was the first year that she was not scared to bits of Santa, so it was nice to see her happily sitting on his lap and talking to him. We all had fun!

This was when Aubrey and baby Kyle came to visit us from Idaho for almost 3 weeks. It was so much fun! We had a blast hanging out, making bows and watching our boys (3 months apart) playing together and keeping Ariana from beating on them. It was awesome! We had a Christmas party for our ward and Santa came, and as you can see Kyle thought he was great, but Connor was utterly horrified! If you look closely, you can see Kyle looking at Connor like he's off his rocker and Santa is laughing behind his glasses. It was too funny! We miss you guys!!!!!!
