Well our first Christmas together was wonderful! We woke up early and opened presents and then Ray made breakfast. We lounged around most of the morning and then headed over to my Dad and Step Moms in Auburn to celebrate the holiday with my family. Unfortunately with both of us working on Monday (Christmas Eve) we weren't able to make it down South to Bend, Oregon to see Ray's family. We vowed we'll make it down there next year. With a baby on the way it really made us stop and enjoy the quietness of the season this year as we've resolved that the next 18 + years will not be that way. It would be great if we all lived close together so it wouldn't be such a juggling act but it is what it is. Adding a baby to the mix is just going to add to the maheim. :)
It seems as if every year our family grows and every year we laugh a bit more. This year my beautiful Niece Jenny has not just one but two beautiful babies. Nevaeh and now the newest addition Kavan. Both are sweet as can be. Nevaeh has a smile that will melt you. Kavan is a master of disquise...every time we saw him he was in a new outfit. :) You have no idea how seeing my dad hold a baby makes me feel. I can't wait to see Grandpa hold our little one smiling with joy. My other Niece, Gabby, is embarking on her next adventure...getting her driver's license...look out world here she comes! The newest members of the klan this year was Jordan (Holly's daughter) and her boyfriend Cameron and of course Ray...I think we broke Ray into the family nicely. Good thing he's got a great sense of humor...he fits right in.
Our family has a such a great time together I wish we could do that more often...we should...I think I smell a new year's resolution...
You all should know as well that Ray and I have (finally) set a date for the wedding. We'll be tying the knot in Las Vegas on March 8th, 2008. Save the date!!!
We are truely blessed to have such a wonderful caring family.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our family to yours.

This will be great to keep track of a few details that don't always get said in a phone call. Plus pictures of the little one when it arrives.
Yes, we do have some fun times and we keep growing.
