CHRISTMAS DAY 2009!

Sophie enjoyed sleeping on Caitlyn's new furry vest.

  Santa found our house! He always brings too much. We are so blessed!

Sophie wanted to open all the gifts! Mike was her babysitter!  

Brooklyn got this new Precious Moments collectible doll from Grandma!She also got clothes, a camera, money, a laptop, a zebra purse, games, movies, and the list goes on.

 

Caitlyn in her new clothes and Brooke in her new feeted jammies!

 

Cailtyn got a new cell phone and it took everyone to figure out how to work it.

Brooke, Catie, Mike

We went to the Holliday's for brunch. We had a such a fun time eating and eating again and laughing.

Catie, Brooke, Uncle Parley and Mike

Aunt Janie gave us all a neck pillow, How comfy!

We had a wonderful Christmas. The best part was being together as a family and giving to each other. What a wonderful time of year!

CHRISTMAS EVE 2009!

Grandma Madsen reads the book Brooklyn gave her about Grandpa.

We let balloons go at Grandma Madsen's house in memory of Mike's Dad and niece that passed away. We love you Grandpa Madsen and Whitney. Have a Merry Christmas with Jesus.

 Catie helped wrap presents!

CHRISTMAS PARTY AT SUNDANCE SKI RESORT!

Beautiful trees at the ski resort! 

We watched the skiers!

 

The kidney foundation gang! Ann, Sharon, Deen, Richard, Luz, and Jayne. We had fun laughing and the food was amazing. The gifts were great too! I got a Mississippi State Bulldog sweatshirt!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

These family pictures for our Christmas card were a disaster. Catie kept saying "squirrel" from the movie "UP"! Sophie, our white dog, was scared of the camera. Oh well, you get the point! Merry Christmas.

TEMPLE SQUARE & MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR CONCERT!

Mike and I went to Salt Lake City to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert with guests Natalie Cole. We spent the night up there and walked around temple square to see all the lights and shopped all day on Friday. These are some of our pictures. This is the picture of the temple we were married in almost 20 years ago.

CATIE'S CONCERT!

Mike embarrasing her while she plays! Caitlyn has been playing the violin for three years now. She is excellent. This was her Christmas Concert at Mapleton Junior High School!

BEAUTIFUL BROOKLYN!

Brooke just turned 17 years old in September. Doesn't she look like me? I wish! She is a wonderful girl. We are so proud of her. Maybe next time, Caitlyn will let me take new pictures of her for our Christmas cards! Ann
