The Holidays 2007

This holiday season was definitely a crazy one!!! Todd has been on the night float rotation which has definitely challenged family life, but we have survived. Only a month to go!!!!

Christmas morning was quite unpredictable. Todd and I realized we hadn't explained the Santa concept very well to Katie. She woke up sobbing in her room that Santa hadn't made it, and she had searched her room for presents and couldn't find any. Apparently, she was under the impression that he was supposed to bring the presents into her room. We tried to calm her and took her to the living room where Santa had come and tried to show her all the presents he had brought. After several minutes of tears she was finally able to open her presents. Unfortunately, do to this little misunderstanding and us trying to calm her we have no pictures of her Christmas morning!!!

That afternoon we spent in North Ogden with my parents and had quite a Christmas feast and then it was back to work for Todd.

A week later we were able to have another celebration with Todd's family at our house complete with chicken fajitas (a Clevenger tradition). All in all the holidays were a hit and they have certainly made the pregnancy fly by. We can't wait to meet our little guy any day now.

Enjoy the pictures!!!



Rachael, Bree & Katie!


The cousins all snuggled in Katie's bed. These three together are quite the crew. I don't know what these new little baby boy's will do with them around.



We caught Katie taste testing Santa's cookies and Rudolph's carrots.



The night before Christmas. Katie wanted to show-off her new Christmas jammies in front of her Christmas tree!



The cousins!

After a fun day of cross country skiing we took the kids to see the lights at Temple Square. We didn't last too long before everyone was freezing and ready to climb back into the car!
