Christmas 2008
This year for Christmas we were with my family. We were supposed to go to the Olsen's for Christmas Eve but the weather we didn't dare drive down through the canyon so we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning alone together...It was very relaxing. We decided to go to IHOP for dinner on Christmas Eve and it was so good that we went back for breakfast on Christmas morning. On Christmas morning we opened a few presents together and let Drama open some too. She loved it! Later that day all the siblings met up at my dads house to exchange gifts and play games. My dad and Trudy were going to take us snowboarding in Idaho the day after Christmas but the weather up there was so bad that the roads were closing down so we went sledding and snowmobiling up AF canyon instead.
Colton drew our name for Christmas this year and he kept asking us what we wanted but we couldn't think of anything so we told him to surprise us and this is what he came up with:
....................................................
Oh Boy!
It came with this card:
...................................................
Good one Colt...Nice try!
Anyway, Christmas was great this year! We got 2 cruises (Mexican Riviera and Bahamas), massage chair, date night pack (dinner @ Cheesecake, Movie passes, dessert @ Cold Stone), money, candy, Mary Kay gift certificate, 72 hour kit and you know what Colton gave us! Ha! Thank you everyone!

Christmas Recap
It was so fun to see our families on Christmas. We went up to Trudy's A-Frame cabin for the Camp Family Christmas party. It was so fun to see everyone and play games, exchange gifts, go sledding, and remember what Christmas is all about...Christ & Family.
This is all the Camp Kids putting on a Nativity Skit for us all!
We spent Christmas day with the Olsens this year. It was a little different for me cause I was the youngest person there! However; we did all still get up by 7 am!! It was funny because Steve and Joyce didn't expect us to get up that early so as I was making crepes in the kitchen they were frantically and sneekily stuffing the stockings in the living room:)

It was so fun to spend time with our family and friends over the holiday season and to bring in 2008. It was an extra special treat for Matt to get to spend some time with his best friend Brad Dyreng who is in the National Guard and currently serving in Iraq but got to come home form two weeks over the holidays on leave.
