Christmas 2008

Ok, ok..Sorry about the long time between posts...I really have been busy..It is the holidays afterall..HaHa..It has been hard this year with the economy the way it is and with a husband in construction it has been especially hard..I havnt felt like much for posting..Anyway, we did have a good Christmas and we were very thankful we could do what we did this year..Thanks to good family and friends it makes it easier to go through times like this..I didnt take any pictures at Thanksgiving so you'll just have to settle for Christmas..First we had to get a picture of our annual Christmas Pj's that we open up every year on Christmas Eve..

Our tree this year..

Creus Christmas..He had no clue what was going on but he was just happy to be here and loved eating the wrapping paper..

Peytons Christmas..She was really excited to get diamond castle barbies and all the disney princess barbies..She also got a lot of tinkerbell stuff..Another one of her favorite things..

Blakelys Christmas..She was so excited to see that santa brought her a DS..She has done nothing but play with her DS since Christmas day..

And to answer Dots question..As you can probably tell from the pictures, yes, we did finally move into our house..It's not going to be very long lived though..On Monday we are going to put it up for sale and hope that with some miracle that it doesnt take long to sale..Not likely I know but we can only hope and pray right?? I know everyone is probably in shock just about now but with construction being so slow we are afraid if it goes on much longer we will not be able to keep the house anyway..We are looking at other options that include moving up North..Which is not exciting for the cold but would be fun to be close to our family..Daniel knows some people up there that might be able to get him a job..Right now it is just a waiting game to see what will happen in the New Year..I read the other day from an ecomonist that in 2009 there will be 20% more construction job losses in St George alone..That doesnt sound promising for the type of work that Daniel does..So, I guess for now we will wait and see..We hope that everyone has a great New Years!!

Oh my goodness! I can't believe you're selling your house!! I'm proud of you for making the choice to put your well being ahead of your wants, though. It would be great to have you up north! Happy new year! D

I hope you get it sold soon. Ben and I are looking around trying to buy a home. It's so hard right now with the economy. I hope it works out for you two this year.
