Bilyeu family Christmas 2008

Christmas day--ready to open presents! We were waiting for dad to get up, so we got dressed and took a few pictures.
Christmas Eve--waiting for the relatives to arrive. We opened one present.
When they started, Jordan had just stolen a popsicle from Morgan and was more interested in that.
Each girl with their first presents.
Christmas day in the thick of present opening.
Jordan opened her presents on her own this year.

Taylor and Morgan loved this marble works game. Sarah was nice enough to play with them.

The girls eating popsicles with their fake extensions on.

Jordan really didn't wear the cape during the trim--you can see her taking it off already.
Deb helping with the marble works.
Since Deb had a hotel room at the Best Western, we all went swimming one day.
Deb and Morgan.
Morgan is floating with Deb's help here.
Jordan loved to be thrown up in the air and then land back in the water.

Well, there it is in pictures. We had such a nice time with all of the family here in Michigan this year. When they arrived we had over 2 feet of snow and then it warmed up and rained so that now we barely have the ground covered (but there are still big ice piles where the snow was plowed before).

Driving the jeep--thanks aunts and uncle!

The girls love their new Jeep! Aunt Bekah, Aunt Deb and Uncle Abe went in on this group present. :) Since a ton of snow melted, they can actually drive it around (sort of--they are already getting good practice at pushing a vehicle that is stuck!).

Snow Day!

Taylor stayed out the longest. She also did some "shoveling".
Grace made all of the kids at church matching hats and neckwarmers.
Jordan is inside that bundle of clothes somewhere.

Our last day before Christmas break was a snow day! How exciting to get that call at 5:30 am. We did get about 7-8 inches and the kids had a great time trying to dig out the swing set. The first video has just Taylor and Morgan--you can see how much snow was in Jordan's swing. :)

Christmas Photos

Christmas is approaching so quickly--I feel like I'm behind this year. We just got the tree up on Sunday and I'm supposed to be addressing Christmas cards right now. I took these pictures on Sunday for the Christmas cards. You'll probably be seeing some of them soon!

The kids get to ride a little snowmobile.

Morgan takes a turn riding the kitty.
Bracken helps load the kids--you can see how small the thing is compared to him.
Taylor enjoyed driving and giving others a ride. Here is Andrew on the back.
Taylor is always willing to smile for the camera--Emma is chasing in the back.
Guy helps load Grayson on the back while Claire looks on.
Ready to go.

Side view of Morgan cruising by.
Morgan really enjoyed her turns. She was pretty fast since she is so light.

We had some people over for dinner tonight and the Jensens brought along their Arctic Cat "Kitty Cat" for the kids to ride. The kids had a blast. The men all went out to help the kids ride and the women got a chance to chat inside. :)
