Merry Christmas and a Suprise!

We had a really nice Christmas in Idaho this year. We had a fun time at my brother’s new house on Christmas Eve. The kids were so excited about Santa coming and opening their gifts from the gift exchange. Heidi cooked all day long and the meal was wonderful! The best of all, my sister Joy and her husband Karson gave us a big announcement. They adopted a baby boy! His name is Jordan Chance White and was born on Dec. 15, 2009. For New Years, they signed the paperwork and became a mommy and daddy. We are so excited for them!
Christmas Morning was at my parent’s house. Lydia was so excited Christmas morning. Mason wasn't too sure what was going on but was excited that he could finally open presents without getting into trouble. It was really great to have the whole family together. Who knows this may be the last time we will all be able to get together. Every year we look forward to Christmas Brunch this is one of our Christmas tradition and we invite more friends and family come over. Our motto should be "The More the Merrier"!
The Day after Christmas we have a get together on my mom’s side with her brothers and sisters. When Joy and Karson made their announcement about adopting a baby my Aunt Paula suggested a baby shower. We were all together and Jordan surprised us all so quickly that Joy and Karson needed to be stocked up with baby supplies. She I consider Joy's baby shower theme to be, "A Baby Shower in an Hour"! We all had 1 hour to go to the store and come back to have a party for Joy and baby Jordan also daddy of course! It was really fun and they did get stocked up, well at least for the first few months anyway.

Lydia Turned 5

So I am a bit behind with postings it is so hard not have internet at home! But hey better late than never. For Lydia's 5th Birthday Jared and Mason started her day off with going to get the best Hot Cider ever at Sundance. She thought it was so cold there but she loved the Cider. Next, she went to Jump on it with her daddy and brother. They used up all that extra energy that 5 year olds build. They jumped for a half an hour and they were tired! Later that night we all went to Pirate Island Pizza. She loved it! We played games had pizza opened gifts and she even had the Happy Birthday song sang to her. She had a blast and is was great for me because it was easy entertainment and I didn't have to setup or take down the party. Later that night we had a work party at Costco. We love these parties, Lydia won $15.00 a cheesecake and she bought herself a pair of pajamas with a robe. Were we up really late but it was a day full of adventure. Happy 5th Birthday Lydia, we love you!
