"Santa come to our house mom?"

This is what O said on Christmas eve. They were excited to get their new bikes and spoiled with so many other great girl gifts. Play food, new dolls, purses and other things they love. We saved a few gifts for their b-day in a few weeks. We had a great time with family and got to talk to my missionary brother Chris. Dougie and were both sick...he had a sotmach virus, and was in bed with the fever and chills. I had a bad head cold....yuck...we still were grateful to be together though.
It's fun to think about another year coming around. Lots of exciting things to look foward to and work on.

Merry Christmas 2007

Whoo Hoo! It's almost here! Off to Thatcher tommorow! Here is our super cute card, Pictures done by good friend Jessica and card help from Doug Tueller. We are so excited to have a little break and be with family. I hope everyone has a special holiday season!


And for fun...here are my sweeties! In a cute new Clearance shirt! Yay...we went and checked out this new spot in Gilbert called Agritopia. A home subdivision that is very picture-esque(sp). A cute new find here in the valley of boring desert landscaping. They were semi-cooperative and so super cute as always.

Oh and just because this is also my little journal I have to tell you what O did. Aunt Allison was here nursing her newborn and the next day O lifted up her shirt and started to feed the teddy. She said teddy hungry...I thought it was sweet. Coming from a mother who nursed a year it warms my heart.
Just had to share...enjoy these pictures.

Tamale Day...cooking with my sisters

For the past few years, the Davis women have got together and made the most amazing tamales. They share with us, but this year Christi ( my sis-in law) and I decided to leave the kids and go down and help! My sweet Sister Amanda watched them in the morning and Dougie got off work in the afternoon. It was a quick trip to Thatcher and back, but we had so much fun! My sweet MIL had prepared all of the ingredients and we just rolled and cooked for 10 hours straight. We made over 80 dozen!!! WOWZER! I got to take home 10 dozen red and green chili corn, and also some elk meat ones with Doug's elk meat. I can't wait for next year....it's going to be a fun tradition~





And just for fun....here are the girls before the ward Christmas Party the other night....I wonder how I got so lucky! I love watching them play together...they are so helpful and kind(most of the time) We watched my little nephew Collin the other day and sweet Audree asked him..."What's wrong Cowin?" Livvy helped me feed him his bottle and burp him....It will be fun to have another one someday!
Dougie hunting again this weekend. It's fun to have girl time but I miss him a little. I'm so blessed to have him in my life. I love him so much....Sigh:)

New family pics

Here are the some that aren't on our Christmas cards. They are growing on me the more I look at them. My girls sure were being onry that day and would not look at me or my friend to save their lives. I think they are about ready to be bribed....next time for sure! It's nice to have some current family pictures...my friend Jessica took these for me...thanks so much Jess!
