What's Been Happening

Happy New Year to all. We have had such a great 2007 with the arrival of Kelsie and all the excitement that she brought to our lives. We are so thankful for the blessings that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with. For this 2008 year we are looking forward to new experiences and new resolutions. May the Lord bless each one of you and help you to have a great 2008. We love going to the Christopher Creek cabin with the Freemans. It is our favorite get away. The Williams were supposed to come with us but poor pregnant Jessica was having some morning sickness issues. Holly, Hans, Kelsie, Andrew, Amanda and Fairy Princess(as Hans now fondly refers to the little girl in Amanda's tummy due to make an appearance in May) at Christopher Creek. Great Grandpa Carlson, Kelsie and Great Grandma Carlson. Kelsie loved being able to hang out with her Great Grandparents for a few hours. Grandma Carlson plays the Wii for the first time while Grandpa catches a quick nap. We went to Kartchner Caverns to meet up with Hans's grandparents who are down here from Alaska. From monkey hand puppets, to ball poppers, clothes, books, and a blue hippo that eats blocks Kelsie had a wonderful Christmas. Aunt Nana, Hans, Holly and Kelsie at the temple lights on Christmas Eve. Kelsie was so pleased to get to rip the paper off the wrapped presents. Cousins Gavin and Keslie meet for the first time. Gavin is such a little cutie. We were so happy that we got to go to Tucson and see him and his parents john and lindsey. Kelsie at the temple lights. He is one hot 26 year old. Happy 26th Birthday to Hans on the 7th of December. If you are wondering, I did make this cake and it is sugar free. Kelsie helped put the star on our Christmas tree. I couldn't help but take the photo-op.
