Oh what fun...

Christmas was wonderful! I love this time of year and the opportunity we have to focus on what really is so important about Christmas, Christ and His gift to us. But before I get too mushy, here were some highlights:

Chels, Brig, & Andy came:

Talon got to hold him (and Barkley, the dog, got a little jealous):


I got to hold him too:



We made sugar cookies:


Tal & Brig made the gingerbread house:



We taught Andy the wonders of Martinellis:

And notice the CUTE outfit Mel and I got for Andy:

"All I want for Christmas is my Auntie"

We ate Crab legs and steak for Christmas Eve dinner!!!! 
We had another great nativity play:
Chase as the Donkey and my cousin's daughter Katie as Mary

Porter (wise man), Matt (Joseph), and Katie (Mary) performing "Away in a Manger"

Shepherds being "Sore Afraid" (Barkley was their sheep)

And we had some traditional music... Dustin was a stud on the bells!


We enjoyed some white elephant fun- Check out the sweet hat at the top of my blog... it was a DESIRED gift!

We wore matching pjs:
The girls

The Men folk

And we just enjoyed being together:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Blog to you again in 2011!

She's here!

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
