Christmas Morning! all the kids slept upstairs in Jessica's room the two boys on the floor and four girls in the bed. We watched Polar Express and listened to Roger Whitaker of course. We all waited quietly for mom to get out of her room. We headed downstairs and each took turns opening our presents (Jessica made Andy cry with one of the gifts she made him told him it was only fair since he had made her cry on her birthday)

On Christmas eve this year we first went to Andy's family's home to enjoy some treats. We then went over to the Priebes home for our traditional dinner, home made gift exchange, and new pajamas. we also did the pudding with the almond (i cant remember all who one there are too many) we all went home and put on our own pagents in which Rachel was mary, Joey was Joseph, Jessica was our shepard and mandy, jamin, and melissa were our wise men. Jessica had made Joey a sock monkey for Christmas and we didnt have any baby dolls so he was our baby jesus. (michael wouldnt ever lay still that long)

We had Tons of Snow this year!!!!

School was canceled twice!

Rachel had her 2nd grade concert and they did a great job!

Melissa was asked to her junior prom by a friend of hers

named Ben, she wore Jessica's dress and looked beautiful

in it (her favorite part of the whole night was her dazzling shoes)

Our first family home evening we put up our tree.

(Michael broke a few ornaments) It was my turn to put

up the star since it was my last year decorating the tree before

i go to college.

The day after Thanksgiving we went with the Whitelys to go get

our Christmas Tree
