Christmas 2008 (PM)


The day doesn't end with being inside! Last year we started a new tradition of knee boarding in the streets pulled by Jed's 4-wheeler. Everyone is bundled up and ready to go!
Giddy-up?!

Dad made Mason her very own snow fort. He wanted to finish it and transform it into an igloo, but Mason decided to jump all over it first. She LOVES the snow!


One of our funnest group presents was Rock Band. Everybody got in on the action at some point!




Whew! The day is over!

Christmas 2008 (AM)


Like Christmas Eve, Christmas day is very traditional. No one can go out into the living room until everyone is ready and not before 7 AM. Everyone walks out and sees what Santa left in their stocking. This year we decided to eat the hearty breakfast before the long present opening session. Homemade tamales with chili verde, eggs, potatoes, tortillas, homemade bread with jam... need I go on? It worked out well that way and everyone was a little more awake and ready for stage 2 - presents. It's always an overkill because everyone is so generous and loves to give to one another. But, it is incredibly fun to watch the everyones faces light up when they open their gifts. 













Christmas Eve 2008

Christmas eves in the Heath household are very traditional. First and foremost, lots of eating and feasting occurs. A big prime rib dinner with all the fixin's, cookies for Santa, writing letters to Santa and the "Christmas Eve Present opening," which usually intails pj's.

Logan's first hair cut

Well, when you have a boy, the long hair needs a trim sooner than you think. Here, Logan accompanied me to my favorite sylist, Dawnell, to get his first trim. He did pretty well! 



Winter performance

The entire school puts on a winter program at Beethoven Elementary. Here are a few snap shots of Mason. It was kinda cute. They sang 3 songs and the rest of the grades did too. It was what every parent gets to do at some point,  watch their kid in some sort of school performance.
