Happy new year!

Dear 2011,
You have some pretty big shoes to fill... 2010 was AWESOME (see previous blog posts), but I am confident that you will be just as good. I have made a list of a few things I want to accomplish during your tenure. I would be most grateful if I could get them done. For the record they are:
1. 100% visiting teaching every month
2. Read the First Presidency article in the Ensign every month
3. Family Home Evening w/ gospel lesson at least 2 x's per month
4. Personal Prayer every morning
5. Walk 20 minutes every day (5 x's per week)
6. Plan a menu every week
7. Limit carb intake to 80 grams per day.
8. Be debt-free (except for the mortgage)
9. Fully fund our emergency fund
10. Take a photography class

Thank you in advance for making these things happen so you too can be remembered fondly.

With love,
KaMaili

More Christmas

Here are some of my favorites from Christmas this year:

As you can tell, Kambrya was the center of our celebration this year! She started out the morning a bit cranky...but some teething tablet and a good bottle fixed her right up just in time to enjoy everything she got including: a walk-n-ride, baby projector, baby dolls, LOTS of books (ones that sing too), TONS of clothes, YBCR, a ginormous stuffed dog and lots of toys. She is one loved little girl!

Happy Holidays!

Christmas Morning

Santa was really good to us this year...

more pictures to come...

Baby Jesus and a donkey

I should be proud as these are the roles Kambrya and Whitney landed in the annual Christmas nativity.

Doesn't he just make the cutest ass...I mean donkey... you've ever seen?

What about this manger scene? ADORABLE!

Is that angel harking or harping? I'm thinkin' Martha might be overwhelmed with her angelic duties!?!

And behind the scenes, making it all happen is Aunt Martha and...Kambrya? I thought she was baby Jesus...WOW, she really is amazing!

More lights

We knew it might be a dissapointment when compared with our light drive-thru in prescott, but we thought we would give it a try for the sake of the kids...and well...yes we were dissapointed, but we did make some good memories piling everyone in the back of Justin's truck and making a scene (admission was $15 per car...gotta save somehow). While the pictures of the lights weren't great, we did get these cute pics of this little adventure:

Temple Lights

We went with the youth in our ward to see the temple lights. And like always, they are beautiful and we had a great time.

I'll take any excuse to drink a hot chocolate...it's one of my favorite things about the winter!

Christmas Party

I decided to host a family Christmas party at my house complete with a meal, which I had never before made, and games, which we had never before played. My family, and the elders, make great guinea pigs!
