We wish you a Merry Christmas! (2008)

The Christmas party was really fun.  The food was great (Mexican theme) and the gifts were fun.  We celebrated Grandma's birthday also.  (The party was great, my photo's could use some work.)  All of the new "couples" were at the party.  Kristi and Scott got married last December.  The rest you know about.  

The last picture is of our family now.  Three married, three to go, but no rushing!

Oh Christmas Tree.....

We went to Idaho to get Christmas trees again this year.  We all found such great trees.  It is lots of fun.  I thought the girls might not want to do it this year with all the other stuff going on, but they all did.  Steve and Jeni Young, and the Romreill's went with us this year.  Craig and Becca, Matt and Marie went on their own.  This is Megan and Tyler with their little tree.  Some of us admit that our trees are great "corner" trees.  Three sides look really good, but the back is pretty sparse.  It works out though, because we can push them right into the corner and they don't take up very much space.  Perfect!

Stu and his daughters.

That was before the wedding of Craig and Becca.  Stu gets two more daughters.  He says Ya hoo!  He looks like he is pretty satisfied doesn't he?

Matt and Marie are next in line

Aren't they great?

A little closer picture

Megan and Tylers wedding

Megan and Tyler's wedding was really great.  The day was so pretty.  Their ceremony was in the morning.  Then the luncheon, then the reception.  They left and we didn't see or hear from them until the next Friday at the open house in Nevada.  Everything went very well.  We had lots of fun.  We had great adventures on the way home from Nevada, but that is a different story.  Megan and Tyler have been married for four months now, and it seems like they have been always together.  

Who remembers this road?

The Maughan's Kids?

The day before Thanksgiving the Melvin and Catherine Maughan children and most of the spouses were able to be together for a dinner.  It was lots of fun.  Curtis, Clair, Stuart and Donna and I (Elva) spent the day traveling through the old Maughan haunts.  The boys (ha! ha!) had great fun seeing the old house and fields.  They even found some of the old cars up in the field.  The old Lava homestead is a beautiful place.   We missed Alva, but everyone else was there.  We are looking forward to next year.

Here we all are at the temple for Craig and Becca's wedding.  It was a beautiful day.  We didn't even need coats!  We had an open house in Mendon on Friday night, the ceremony on Saturday morning, the luncheon, then the reception on Saturday night. It was fun to see everyone.  (We had some competition with the BYU vx. U of U game.)  Everything was very nice.
