NC Christmas 2007

This is Christmas night. The Barbie house looks like it was in a Florida Hurricane and my kids look like they don't have a mother........Looks like Christmas was a Success!
We can't forget about the missionaries! They came over for breakfast as well. This is Elder Rowe from Idaho. For the life of me I can't figure out what happened to Elder Hoffman's picture. He was here. Really.

It was really fun to have Quinton over for breakfast burritos on Christmas morning. We love you Quinton! Thanks for the Disney Princess dolls and the Harley t-shirts.


Taylor and Haille got a bonafide letter from Santa!



The first annual Stand on your Head contest. Sam is obviously the winner!

























All she wants for Christmas is her one front tooth......Taylor lost two teeth a couple of days before Christmas. The other one is in the front on the bottom. Since it was a double whammy and she got hit in the face twice which precipitated the loss and since it was near Christmas, the tooth fairy was very kind indeed. She netted a cool $5.00!








More Christmas Cuteness....




















Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without new socks!











They had a lot of fun opening presents!


























Santa was very good to the Holmes girls this year! Check out the 3 story Barbie House! Awesome!















































This is Taylor and Haille opening thier Christmas Eve presents from Uncle Terry and Aunt Marcine! They were so excited to get Hello Kitty notepads, folders and crayons. Thank you!




































This was Mark opening Holly's present on Christmas Eve. NC doesn't know what chocolate oranges are and that is all Mark wanted for Christmas. She came thru!








































These were taken on Christmas Eve before we went to a prime rib dinner at the Mangums with thier family. We had a wonderful time.












































Here was my Christmas present. I have been needing and wanting some bookcases so that we could get all our books out of boxes. They turned out really nice. I feel like I have a mini library when I look at that wall.























This was our nativity. I will be excited when I can get the entire set put together. It is missing the stable, stars, angel and wisemen. It still set a nice tone and was beautiful to look at.
























Our mantle, where the stockings were hung with care. Don't you love the stars? Target.

























We love our skinny tree! It still looks pretty cute.


























This is David being Really Excited about spending his Christmas in Utah! He left on the 15th and will be back the 29th. The snow was awesome and so were his family and friends.



























This is Haille, the night of Taylors program. She didn't get to go because she was sick. She was not happy. Can you tell?




























This is beautiful Taylor on the night of her kindergarten Christmas program.

My name is Laura and I'm Elder Rowe's big sis. I loved being able to see a picture of him on Christmas. We got to talk to him for a little while, but it was reassuring to know that someone was looking out for my baby brother on Christmas. Thank you so much!

NC doesnt know alot about alot of things. Not that Im a fan of chocolate oranges, cuz Im not, although I have mixed orange gatorade with chocolate milk. But what Im trying to say is, Boise is nice and really close to an airport. Come back to the west where you can get chocolate oranges and wave the US flag without being called a "darned Yankee".
