IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas started out this year with a Christmas Eve dinner at my parents house. Mom made a roast and potatoes...... After everyone was done eating she told us the roast was a Buffalo roast...(no wonder it tasted funny!) After stuffing our faces and reminiscing about old times we made our way down to the camp for our annual Wilcock Christmas eve Bon Fire! The weather was beautiful and we had a great time as always! To get the fire started they used a mixture of Gas and Diesel so the whole time we were being asphyxiated with the smell of gas....nothing like the holidays with out the smell of burning gas!
I kind of went a bit crazy this year with the picture taking! But this year will be the last year we all will be together for a very long time. Jacob is going off on his Mission for two years, Timmy is leaving for the Marines is June, Lisa is getting married and moving away. It breaks my heart! 
Everyone was making fun of me with my socks pulled out over my pants so Sarah just HAD to get a picture!
After the Bon Fire we all just lounged around the house until it was time for bed! Christmas morning came early again this year just as it always does. 6am raise and shine! We all stumbled down the stairs to start opening up our gifts. Miguel and I got a new Stainless Steel Pot and pans set, Miguel got me the complete hardback set of the Twilight Series, and we got a basket full of misc. stuff for our house from my parents too! Sarah got us "The Dark Knight" on Blue Ray! which is perfect for the New.....BIG SCREEN TV WE GOT TOO!! It is a 52" Flat screen! (the same one that my grandma and grandpa just got) We are so excited for that! It arrives this Wednesday!!! We got my dad a new phone and he was so excited! He couldn't stop talking about it all day....i'm just glad he loved it! Miguel's Mom sent us a huge thing of Fruit and Snacks and Chocolates! It was wonderful! 
This is Dad's shocked look when he realized that we really did get him a new phone!
We have been so blessed this past year:
We got married!
We bought our first house!
We got a Ford Explorer for me to drive
A new Truck for Miguel
Sold our Oldsmobile...twice!

And There is so much more that we are thankful for!
I can't wait to start a new adventure in 2009!
Happy New Year everyone!

Cute pictures! I love when all the siblings can get together. It took a while for that to happen for us for a while too. But now we have in-laws and we have a great time. Did you hear Jared and Kristen are having a baby too? In August! You're next!
