Evan's Birthday Weekend!

On January 17, Evan, my baby brother turned 19! It was an absolutely fabulous weekend! Not only were we celebrating his birthday, but he also went through the Temple for the first time and give his "farewell" talk! Emily, Matt, Sarah and Andrew as well as Grandma Davis were here to join in on all the fun! Of course Elliot, Kelly, Ellie, Scot and Macie were there too. It was so much fun to be surrounded by family for an entire weekend! I am so proud of Evan, he is one of my best friends and I couldn't be happier with the decision he has made to serve a mission! He is the best younger brother! (We missed you Ellen)





The kids call Bobby their "Silly Uncle". Haha!!

Macie after the birthday cake... haha. She is so adorable!

Christmas Time! (2008)

Welp, Christmas has come and gone AGAIN! It was a ton of fun and we enjoyed the time we spent with our families. We had dinner Christmas Eve at Grandma Shirley's and then read The Best Christmas Pageant Ever at the Davis'. We spent Christmas morning with the Davis family which included gifts and a delicious breakfast made by Dad(or Big Wayne as Bobby likes to call him.) Then we headed over to the Green's, which is literally around the corner. We did our annual family gift exchange game, played Guitar Hero World Tour and this fun game called Blockus. We ate French Dip for dinner, which was absolutely delicious!





The morning after Christmas, we packed up our Jeep and headed off to Utah to visit Bobby's grandparents and aunts and uncles. We caravaned with Bobby's parents, his brother Bill and his family and his sister Kelly and her family. We were quite the caravan, it was 3 white Jeeps and a white Minivan! We made our first stop in Reno, NV at Cabela's after quite the excursion through the Sierra's. We arrived safely in Utah and had a great time playing in the snow and enjoying time with extended family that we don't get to see very often. It was a ton of fun but we swore we-d never return to Utah in the winter again! But promised Grandma Green we'd come back in the summer time. We also went to Cabela's in Lehi, UT, which was way bigger and better than Reno. That store is so fun just to walk around in! It's like a free museum!
