Getting out in St. George

After Christmas we went on a couple fun outings, about 14 kids and 10 adults, it is great!One day we went to the Movies and milkshakes. Another day we went swimming at a great pool by Ann's house. It had great slides and a water vollyball court.

Our family trip came to an end with the baby blessings of Elizabeth & Ricardo's 5th child Jacob, and Aaron and Georgina's 6th child Tawnnie.

Where are these Ledesmas:

David has been living with Ann for a few weeks.

Aaron and Georgina drove all the way from Oklahoma to be their for Christmas.

(It took them over 24 hours because for snow storms.)

Their children are Wesley 15, Arrie 13, Annah 9, Jaron 4, Larra 2, and Tawnnie 6 months.

Elizabeth and Ricardo drove down from northern Utah.

Their children are Ricky 7, Jennifer 5, Christian 4, Aaron 2, Jacob 6 months

Christmas 2007

For Christmas we drove down to St. George to visit Grandma Ann, David, Aaron and his family and Elizabeth and her family.

We celebrated the birth of our Savior on Christmas Eve by reading and acting out Luke 2. Everone had a part.

Chloe loves Grandma's toys!

We had a wonderful Christmas eve and Christmas day dinner with Grandpa Jack.

Christmas Tree Cutting

We have started a fun Christmas tree cutting tradition with Andrea's family.

Todd & Andrea live near us.
They have three boys Spencer 12, Aaron 10.75, & Chase 6

In early December we drive to the coast and cut down our Christmas tree.

Our favorite thing about this spot is all the swings located throughout the area.

Our adventure ended this year with the Andrea's car and Christmas tree

being towed away b/c of car troubles.
