2009 In Review: December

December was a family month, for sure! My cousin Steven got married, and family members came from out of town. So, Daniel, cousin Brad (who lives in N. California), and I went to see the Christmas lights on Thoroughbred in Alta Loma. We had fun goofing off.





I actually went to see the lights 2 other times this Christmas. Once was with my friend Melissa and her boyfriend and the other was with people from my ward and my nephews. Here's a picture of the boys enjoying the lightsAlso, in December, Mom and I went to Disneyland to see the Christmas firework show and the snow. We had a great time!We had our big family Christmas at Aunt Cheryl's house, as usual. This year, however, Santa came, which the kids seemed to loveSince I was often the one taking pictures, I'm not really in any. So, here's my self-portrait taken at family ChristmasJacob, Josh, and Dylan joined in this year too!Here's a picture of Nancy and Wiss the family gathering. I think they both look so pretty in this picture!Last, but not least, we had had our immediate family celebration on Christmas Eve. This is my favorite family tradition! We went caroling and then came home to open presents. Here's most of the family after caroling at a house. Wiss took the picture as we turned around.I LOVE my family and would not ever want to be without them. This year was definitely crazy and difficult, to say the least. However, at the end of the day, I can look back and know that I have all I could ever need. I have the best family ever and I have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life; I have been truly blessed.
