Christmas 2007

Quick note...for those of you that have not received Christmas Cards from us. Yes, we realize that it is after Christmas. And, yes, we were responsible and had our cards printed the week after Thanksgiving (and boy are they cute! Special thanks to Chris Pittman for taking our Christmas photos this year!). However, no matter how hard we have tried (read: not very hard) we have not quite gotten them in the mail yet. I'll be honest, we haven't quite gotten them addressed yet (but we do have the stamps). So, bear with us. You will receive your Happy New Year card (which just happens to be green and red and say happy holidays on it) in the new year. :)



Enough of that. Here are the long awaited photos. Due to the mass number of photos, I have opted to do a few slideshows. Just watch the one you want, and then scroll down to catch the next one. If you are having trouble viewing the slideshows, please email me and I will send you the links directly. Enjoy.


EDIT: 5:56PM PST: I cannot get these stinking slideshows to post right. So, below each slideshow I have included the direct link. Click on that, and it will take you to a place where you can view each slideshow individually. I apologize for the inconvenience, and I will attempt to work on the problem when we get home this evening...see how much I love you...I'm going to spend NYE trying to fix the blog. :)



We decided that this year we would host Dallas Pre-Christmas at our house. Yes, you read right. We managed to fit 11 people, plus Everett, plus food in our little living room. And, I think that all in all everyone had a great time. I truly would love for it to become a Christmas tradition for Christmas Day, but we'll just have to see. I think the family is getting very scared at this point. :)

Everett got so many books and toys he just didn't know what to do with himself! So, he plopped himself down into his cousin's walker to just chill for a bit. :)

Then it was time to come to California. Jichan showed Everett the ropes, and then the hanging out time commenced.

Finally it was time for Christmas!! We woke up Christmas morning and opened presents and Bachan and Jichan's house. Then, we went to HiiBachan's house to see the rest of the family! :)

So, all in all, Christmas 2007 was a success. I'm not sure how we are going to get all of Everett's presents home, but we'll manage. :)

This year has been a year of many surprises and many blessings. Now that it is coming to a close, I wonder what next year will have in store for us. I pray for good health and good fortune for all of our friends and family in the upcoming year.

Happy New Year!!
