Christmas 2009

Zach and Liz's gift will be never forgotten as we enjoyed delicous food from the new restaurant in Provo called "Communal" --so delicious! Thanks again.

Traditional Slumber Party on Christmas Eve Eve


New PJ's are the norm for Christmas Eve.

Timothy was sad about leaving his best nursery set-up with Tina and Kami, but he's made friends for lifetime. He got an early Christmas when Tina stopped by.

Happy with their toys.

Sarah and Timothy loving their new kitchen and Timothy's bike.

Spencer and Rickey loving their new bikes as well.

Delicious Chicken Brocolli dinner we all enjoyed on Christmas Day.

Timothy got sick after Christmas and was sick with stomache problems for 2 weeks or so. I enjoyed the chance to cuddle and hold him extra.

The Shields Family Christmas Party where creativity ruled and contests were fierce.

Friendly Family Basketball (you can't tell, but Lynn is playing in his suit!!)

Sarah loved her chance to go iceskating and picked up on it right away.



Merrill family Christmas party complete with Nativity story

Many costumes made the story so much better. I loved that Timothy and others are wearing white bathroom toilet rugs to be the sheep. Now that's creative costuming.

Granpa, Jeff, and Jessie.

Grandma Merrill, Grandma Shumway, and somber Timothy

Grandpa and Grandma came to attend Asher and Erin's Wedding. They ended up staying longer to take care of important medical issues as well.

Fall Futbol and Football 2009

Here's one of the reason's I don't make time to update the blog. I love going to watch the kids Fall games, as does Jeff. Do the math and you'll see that we spend a LOT of time running to and from games. Luckily Sarah and Timothy do pretty good and I appreciate Mikelle for helping out with the kids when I have to be different directions. A huge thanks to Spencer and his friends, Eli and Gabe, for coaching Aaron's flag football team. They did a great job and Aaron fell in love with Spencer and all of his friends. Luckily they are very nice to include him in their high-school sporting events, and even let him sit by them, or on them in this case.

Photos are thanks to Van's aunt since I don't have a camera that can take any action photos!! I appreciate her sharing and only wish I had some of Spencer's football career too.
