Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Here is payson taking a ride down the hill. He got cold and enjoyed watching movies in the car, and entertaining Brooklyn. We had so much fun, we wished more family could have enjoyed it with us. maybe next time!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

This is Kassidy and Parker. Parker and Chandler got pretty good riding the Snow Board down the hill. Erick made a sled out of a set of old skis. I think that was the favorite thing to ride down the hill. It was pretty fast and went far.

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Friday and Saturday we went sledding with Brian and Ginger and Bart and Rachel and all the cousins. It was so much fun, it was snowing while we were there. It was such a good after Christmas activity. This is Erick and Payson. Payson wasn't sure he liked the cold snow. The rest of the kids really liked it. It was hard to pack up and go home.

Christmas 2008

Christmas day was so much fun. It was Brooklyn's first Christmas. She was so excited to hear the tearing of the wrapping paper. Santa brought her a soft baby like Kassidy's. We had a good day of playing, relaxing, and making messes. The trash just kept growing. Now we are just sad that it is over.

Christmas Eve with the Wiltbanks

Christmas Eve was alot of fun we had dinner and the traditional white elephant gift exchange. I think the kids are getting old enough to know how to play the game now, so it was quite fun. Payson wanted everyones gift. Then we sat and listened to Grandpa Wiltbank tell us a neat story about the Savior. Now that I am older I do miss Dad's lectures and thoughts about the Scriptures. Thanks Dad! Then to finish the evening we opened the gifts that Granny and grandpa gave all of us. They were Pillow cases with our names embroidered on them. Dad and Karen are the most thoughtful gift givers. The kids really enjoyed sleeping on their pillows. We missed Kerri and her kids,and Landon, but we were so glad that the rest of us could be together on such a special night. Thanks Guys for coming!

Santa pops in on the Wright kids!

Payson was a little scared of santa!

Kassidy was I think outgrowing Santa's lap!
Parker wasn't afraid of telling santa what he wanted!
And Brooklyn liked his beard! She wouldn't let go!
And Chandler had to be coaxed to sit on Santa's lap. Santa had to know what to bring him!


This year Santa came to the Wright home a few days early to check to see is they were being good and to take their lists. It was fun to have Santa come.

Here is a recent family picture in front of our Christmas Tree. This Christmas was so nice. We concentrated more on giving to others. Our Ward adopted 6 families in the community that needed help this year. Some people donated money and others food, and others donated their time shopping and delivering the presents. Sister Wilson, & Erick and I headed up the project and we could see all the neat things that people did. Our kids wrapped all the presents for our Family and they were so excited to be able to serve another family!

I need to catch up on blogs. Life has been so busy. This is a picture of our Christmas Dinner. Every Year Erick and I and the kids eat a nice candle lit dinner around Christmas time. We eat on china and listen to really pretty Christmas music, and we try to have a few lessons on manners too. The kids and Erick and I really enjoy the evening together!
