The Jordan's Christmas Holiday!!!

We started our Christmas Fun by getting the house ready for Christmas Eve & Day. We kept track of Santa on the Nordictracker via northpole.com, baked gingerbread Cookies, and then we read "Twas the night before Christmas", and sent the kids to bed. Santa visited us, and ate the cookies that the boys & daddy decorated for him. He left the kids great gifts, that he hopes that the love and will play with. Tridon got a Nerf Gun, Lego's, & a Pool Stick from Santa. Dallas got a Nerf Gun, & a Caterpillar Train Set. Case got a Bi-plane, & a Nerf Gun. All the boys got Slinky's, YoYo's, and Marbles in their Stocking's. And Avery got a Baby Stroller, with Hair pretties and earring's in her Stocking. Daisy even got a Doggie Bone, and Chew Toys from Santa. We also got a bunch of different stuff that we will enjoy for a long time. Glenn got clothes, a Cas Haley CD, and a Garmin, and stuff for his BBQ. and Camie got clothes, a new pair of Boot's, Pamper Chef items, and a Deep Fryer! From our wonderful parents we got New Silverware from Lee and Sharon, and Food Storage Kits, and Supplies from Garth and LeAnn. (both much needed items from both parents, Thanks). After opening such wonderful gifts we went over to the farm for dinner and gifts, and then we came back home and played games with some of our very best friends. We hope all had a wonderful and joyful Christmas. We know and will always remember the Savior on this Great, and Wonderful Holiday, and we hope that you will too. We love each and every wonderful Family Member and Friend, we are very grateful that we are loved and cared for by all of you and we want you to know that you are also loved for and cared for very much. We wish you a Very Wonderful New Year! Love all of us, to all of you!

Christmas Morning

Winter Fun

On the 23rd of Dec. we went sleding, (but in our case we don't need hills), we hooked the kids sleds up to the 4-wheeler, and pulled them around the neighborhood. They had a lot of fun, as you can see in the slide show below. We put Case in front at first, but then we moved Dallas to the front, because Case didn't like being covered in the snow, which piled on top of Case and then Dallas. Daisy even joined in on the fun by running along side of the kids and the 4 wheeler. I was sitting on back with the Camera and the Video Camera, and Glenn was driving, and later Avery joined him because she didn't like getting snow in her face. We had such a fun time sleding in our neighbor hood, and we didn't have to go far. That's my kind of simply fun!

Going Caroling with Clyde the Camel

My Grandpa Loren A. Wilson

This is my Daughter Avery LeAnn with Grandpa Wilson at

Thanksgiving, exactly 3 weeks before he passed on.

This was also the last time I got see him.

Kristen if you don't mind I am going to copy you and do my memories of Grandpa also. Yours made me have my own, and it also made me cry!

Like Kristen said we lost our Grandpa Loren Wilson 1 year ago on the 13th of December, it was such a hard time for all of us. This was the first person really close to my heart that I have lost. I miss him so much that it hurts, and I know the rest of my family misses him also. We all know that he is happier because he is no longer in pain.

My favorite thing about Grandpa: I have so many fond memories of him that it is hard to choose my favorite, but I do love the way he took care of Grandma, and the Breakfast's that he so fondly fixed all of us, & his sour dough pancakes were the best. I admire this man so much I was very proud to have given my 3rd son Case, his name Loren as his middle name. The first song that I have playing on blog is the one they played at his funeral, so I get a daily reminder of a wonderful man, that I have loved and looked up to all my life.

(please take the time to listen to it's wonderful words,

and you will know how a great man lived his life)

I unfortunately don't live that close to Soda Springs, so I don't get to visit as much as everyone else does, and I regret not making the effort to go over there more often, but I always knew that I was loved and thought of daily by my Grandparents.

Grandpa I love you and miss you so much and I am looking forward to seeing you again! Grandma I love you and think of you often.

Our Christmas Tree WE believe in getting a REAL tree every year, no fake for us. So it is a tradition for our family to go pick out the tree together. This year Daddy and the Boys got out of the truck and Mommy stayed in the warm truck with Avery. We picked out a tree that is about 7 1/2 feet tall and about 4 feet wide @ the base. Our trees always have the same decorations on it, and it always turns out beautiful. Mommy did the lights and daddy did the rest with the help of the kids. It took us two days this time, because we had things to do the night we got the tree so it got decorated the next day! Check out our cool slide show!

Utah Trip

We had a wounderful time down in Utah! We spent a lot of time with our families that live down there. It was also great to see Camie's Grandmother Wilson, whom lives in Soda Springs, ID. (we don't get to see but a few times a year, if that), so that was a very nice treat for us. We had a wonderful Christmas dinner that contained a wonderful Pork Tenderloin, Roast, Ham, Rolls, Twice-Baked Potatoes, Chocolate and Pumpkins Cake Rolls (yummy), Stuffing, and Ginger Bread Cookies! It was a very very yummy dinner! We also got to have some great family pictures taken with a really good photographer, we can't wait to see them, and I will post them at a later date. The Jordan's visited the Beehive House, in downtown SLC, and walked around Temple Square a little bit. We played games. And last but defently not least, we got to bless our newest member of our clan: Trace Heber. He is so cute and I loved to be around him and play with him. He has such a cute smile. We had so much fun, and we were all sad to leave, but we do have responibilites at home that needed to be attended too. We thank Jeremy and Nicky for letting us stay at there home. And thanks to Camie's Dad and Mom, (Garth and LeAnn), for such a wonderful Christmas dinner, and the rest of the family for hanging out and playing with us. We love you and miss you so much already! We wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
