Christmas 2008: White elephant gift exchange at Brandon and Sharee's house. We all had a great time stealing gifts away from each other. That evening we also enjoyed great food, caroling, and a call from Santa. To finish off the evening we read from Luke the story of Christ's birth.
Christmas caroling with the Poyfair's. Although this event was slightly unorganized, we had a lot of fun. Maybe next year, we can have lyrics for everyone to cheat off of, or at least narrow done the song selections. Caroling that night together was quite funny because we all bustled out the door without a plan. As someone knocked on a door we tried to have a quick vote as to what song we should sing. More often than not, there were only a few who knew the correct words to sing. Oh well, it's the thought that counts right?
Our ward had a Christmas party with the theme, "Polar Express". All of the kids came in pajamas. There were lots of sweets to enjoy as we all enjoyed the reenactment of the story. At the end of the evening we had a volunteer Santa take pictures with the children. It was like waiting in line for a theme park ride to get to him, but now that we have the picture, I can say that the wait was worth it.
Playing games at Jason and Sara's house with the rest of the family during Thanksgiving.
There were lots of people there for the Thanksgiving feast. This is the biggest group picture I could get during the day.
After Christmas in the Fort Woth area we headed down to East Texas (to my parents lake house). Here Izzy is hanging out with Lulu and D-O-G.
Grandma Poyfair and Bella playing together.
All the family got together for a day of service during the holidays. It was really nice to feel the spirit as we gave of our time and efforts to help others. In this picture, we are sporting the hats that Isabella's Great Grandma Ruth made for us. We love them!
Below are some cute videos of Bella that we wanted to share.
