Christmas Memories, 2008

We had a blast up in Post Falls, Spokane, and Coeur d'Alene, ID. We finally ate at Josh's restaurant, The White House. And, yes, Steve was right - we were burping garlic burbs for three days after! Loads of garlic! Christmas shopping in the 30 degree weather, instead of this week where 10 degrees is the high!!! BRRRR!!! Also, went and saw all the Christmas lights at the Coeur d'Alene lake. They were on the Today Show & Good Morning America - they were beautiful, especially reflecting off the lake.
Attended Steve's work parties, bowling, wii, and delicious food & loads of laughter! Who knew that Jehovah Witness's are all janitors! (Thanks Brian for that info.!!)
The kids got to go swimming while their parents soaked in the HOT TUB!! Trevor put his request in for Santa and we made it back into town for our neighborhood party, ward party & high priest party. Young Woman ice skating & sewing their pigs up.
This is my favorite time of the year - family, friends, new friends, neighbors, ward family - nothing better!!! Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season!
Steve gave me an early Christmas present, a Cannon Rebel. We have been having a lot of fun snapping shots with it! Trent trying out the sport button on the camera.
Steve loves Outback! Here is his Chicken-on-the-barbe!
Trent's band concert. He was great! Good job Trent!
The YW/YM are currently in a very intense dodgeball tournament! Our ward is #1 so far! The YW just huddle in the back & try to miss getting hit, and the YM are CRAZY!!! We are the lumberjacks & the Stake has refs! It was a blast watching them! They have six more games, we are excited to go watch them again tonight!
Cassie, Kelcey and Jacy at Dodgeball!
Trevor sitting on Santa's lap. He just wanted it all over with!
Jacy messing around with the new camera. Again, this one is for you Grandpa J.

Swimming at the pool. We were messing around with the continous shooting on the camera! Pretty nice feature.
The boys love showing off!
Here is Josh taking our order at the White House. We keep telling him that Red Robin is a little more kid friendly food, but he doesn't believe us!
Chris at Steve's Wal Mart bowling party. The store rented 1/2 the bowling alley, it was a blast. There were all sorts of people there to bowl & eat pizza! Next year they are renting the whole bowling alley. Way to many people!

Trent, I am so excited to get a new camera!
Merry Christmas!! Love the Jones Family

You will love the Cannon Rebel. I have loved mine. Also love the warrenty Jer bought for it, as I just got a new lens for no cost!!! Love that!!

The boys looks so old with longer hair. Trent looks like a Tween now. Sounds like a fun time shopping!!
