4 Christmases 2009

This was by far the best Christmas we have ever had! We visited home for just over a week and took advantage of every minute we had.

Christmas Part 1: We started Christmas off right and woke up bright and early, ready to see what goodies Santa brought us! Then we opened gifts, goofed around and took some family pictures.

Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil...

Just us girls!

The cutest couple with the cutest puppster

The kids...miss you sibs :(

Christmas Part 2: Auntie Nani, Uncle Dave, Jaymi, Sara, and Lila came over for a delicious Christmas breakfast! We feasted, celebrated Lila's 22nd Birthday, opened presents and watched Cj and my home videos from 1993...oh man, that is some funny stuff!

Christmas Part 3: After visiting with family, we headed up to the Williams house for some more Christmas fun. We visited for a while, snacked on some delicious goodies, and opened presents!

Brandon and Cameron...he's the best :)

Christmas Part 4: After visiting with the Williams, we headed back down for the Norris family extravaganza! We had an amazing dinner, opened more gifts, caught up with our Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and the most wonderful woman...my Great Grandma Carol! Then we attempted to stuff ourselves even more with cheesecake and apple crumble.

Maybe a third of the Norris clan!

We just barely missed her, She was born December 30. 7lbs 8oz and 21 inches long. We love you baby Taylor!

The Sunday after Christmas, mom and dad hosted yet another party with friends and family. Luckily, we were able to visit with quite a few people before we left to catch our flight.

Uncle Lito, Auntie (beautiful voice) Lani & family.

Then it was back to Utah where we were welcomed home by 10 degree weather, a popped tire on our Xterra, and a looong work week. Here is a little tour of our humble yet festive Christmas decor :)

We had SO much fun at home this year, it was so nice and relaxing. We hit all of our favorite restaurants, got in a little shopping, a lot of family time, and made out good with Christmas gifts :) We got so home sick before we even left for the airport but we're starting to get back into the groove of our day to day. We love you and miss you all and we're so grateful for the time we were able to share with you....until next Christmas <3

Tis The Season

One of my co-workers forwarded this to me so I thought I'd share...

Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year.

Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.

Kind of feel like I gave in to the man by taking him down but my neighbor did confirm two near miss accidents on the busy street next to my house. I think I made him too real this time.

So it was fun while it lasted! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas <3 The Williams
