Christmas morning with Evelyn

Christmas morning at our house was so much fun thins year, because we had Evelyn and Lyla here. Santa Claus came and we Evelyn wanted to help everyone open their presents too! We had a huge Christmas Breakfast at the table and the rest of the day we just CHILLED! We watched 'Inception' and I just don't know how I feel about that movie. Was really weird!

Cristmas Eve away from Home!

Our Christmas Eve consisted of last minute shopping in St. George, visiting Todd's Aunt Jeanne and Dorothy Hortt in Kolob Care Center, then over to Elliah's house were we exchanged some gifts and ate a little lunch. Then we drove to Cedar City where we stopped in to see Jacob's new baby boy Liam, and then onto Isaac and Tiffany's house for dinner and time with grandkids Ella and Caleb. When Jacob and Kelli arrived at Isaac's house for dinner, he was wearing his darling little elf cap that his mommy made for him. (Jacob helped too, as he sewed the decorative buttons on it).The pajama elf come to their house after we watched the tabernacle choir and the birth of the Savior DVD. Ella and Caleb heard the doorbell ring and out on the porch were gifts of pajamas for them all to wear. We drove home and made it back about 9:45 p.m. just in time to fill stockings and wrap last minute gifts. It was certainly a Christmas Eve that we will always remember!

Beautiful baby boy!

Another picture of sweet little Liam Jacob Askeroth, he is just so beautiful, and sometimes we see Jacob in him and sometimes his mommy Kelli is also there. What a wonderful gift received by so many loving family members on both sides. We love you Liam! Christmas Eve 2010

Baby and Baptism!

Our little Breya turned eight on the 11th and got to have her own special baptism just days later because her father will be going to Costa Rica for 5 weeks on business. She looked so pretty in her dress that was made by Grammy, and these are two of her closest friends having cookies afterwards. The taller girl on her right is actually younger than Breya, but has tall parents and we all know where Breya comes from.

On the way to the baptism in St. George, we got a call from Jacob, that his new little son had just been born. It was quite a day on Tuesday December 14th. with two very special things happening in our family. Oh happy day!
His name is Liam Jacob Askeroth. Our 4th grandson, and second Askeroth male to carry on the name in our family for this new generation.
Here are the happy parents.
Isn't he adorable. He weighed 6 lbs 4 oz. and was 18 inches long. And all that dark hair. Wow!
He didn't have a name for sure until Wednesday afternoon, and we all were excited to hear what his unique name would be. I think we will keep him!!

Not quite ready but getting there.

I love getting ready for Christmas, but I am always jealous when anyone else says they are completely ready and done with everything by the eighteenth of December. I AM SURE NOT, BUT ENJOYING THE PROCESS. I guess that is the key, is to find the joy in not being ready yet!I still have to make a few gifts on the sewing machine, a couple of other crafts and do lots of baking and cake balls for neighbors gifts. I still have not done any Christmas greetings (cards) but they will probably be done after Christmas, so they can be New Years Greetings. Today, we are having a family dinner with Tara, Trent and girls, Kylee and Clinton and baby Maddox, Ty and Todd and I. I will be making turkey and fixins, cause I just didn't get enough of it during the Thanksgiving holiday.
