Joshua and Santa. Doesn't Joshua look like a perfect Angel!?


Joshua had a blast helping us put up Christmas Lights.


Ta-da! Here's our house most of the way decorated.


The Beautiful Mesa, Arizona Temple Lights! This has become a wonderful family tradition.


Joshua enjoying the Temple lights.


More temple lights.


After we accomplished all the Christmas festivites we could fit in near our home we headed out of town for the holidays...


Joshua loved playing with Austin and Hayden in the dirt...
   
 
...and Haley on the swings...



The day before Christmas we convinced Grandma P. to let us all go for a ride on her school bus! As you can see Joshua is excited to go for a ride. ALL the grandkids loved it (I think Grandma had a lot of fun too... maybe MORE fun than the grandkids!!) What a great new memory!! Thanks Grandma.

Here's Joshua and Austin playing with some toy buses after their fun ride in a real bus!


Grandma P. is infamous for buying Christmas Eve jammies. Here are all the boys in their matching Christmas jammies watching Bugs Bunny cartoons with Papa!


Joshua loved the one-pound chocolate Santa that Santa Claus left for him in his stocking.

    
Christmas Dinner... We had to take a picture from each end of the table to fit us all in. Our family is growing!


Too much playing. Joshua and Lowell passed out.

We feel blessed to have shared the holidays of 2005 with friends and family! We know 2006 is going to be another great year. We hope each of you had a happy, healthy new year and are enjoying 2006.
