Lamar and Chelsea Innes..Sealed for Time and All Eternity.Dec. 27, 2008

Lamar went and did it! He drove my parents crazy and got married 8 weeks after he got home from his mission AND 2 days after Christmas. Yes, he is married!! And he couldn't have picked a better bride. WE love her. And she knows how to cute hair too:) Next sibling that gets married...please don't do it 4 weeks after I have a baby.. The camera isn't nice. Leisel, that would be you.:) All in all, it was a good day. Not as bad as I was planning on. The baby didn't get sick. She's a hefty little thing....The kids were tired by the end of the day. We ended up getting a hotel and relaxing there for the night. That was a nice treat to a long day.

AFter the sealing we went to a luncheon til 3 and then we drove to Tucson for a Reception. Chelsea is from Tucson.

Tylynn was a good helper with the baby.

Malin was a stud in his cumberbun and bow tie....Thanks Danae for the outfit. Chelsea and Ashlyn Baby Malin needed to take a breather during the dance and this where we found him. Hilarious! Mom, please send me the other pics when Ryan and Lamar joined him on the ground.

This little girl(I don't know her) wanted to hold the baby so bad. So we let her while we danced.....and I even got to dance the Macarena. Yippee!This was at the end of the reception......2 little girls were ready to be DONE.Aunt Jillian and Savannah. Adorable,

Christmas Day in Ajo 2008

The anticipation was almost too much to handle. Here's all the kids lined up in order from youngest to oldes. Notice no Aubrey, she was still snoozing and we had to wake her up....she wasn't happy. Mind you it was 6 AM and I wanted to be snoozing too! But not on Christmas MOrning....no way! He's a combo of " Say Cheese", what time is it?, what's happening so early in the morning?, and "I want some Lolo" (cereal)

Everybody coming in after they get the ok to come in!! We got most of the footage on Our regular video camera, which I haven't figured out how to transfer to the blog...you get the idea.The girls had a great Christmas! Savannah got a MyPod and Fancy Nancy, Aubrey got a kid laptop and Twin Dolls, Malin got a race track, big truck and lost of balls,...plus other fun stuff for everyone... The big gift was a WII!!!!!!

a Wii!!!

Here's proof.....Great Grandma Nelson playing Tennis!! She's a rookie! Dayna helped her figure it out.

Baby Malin was befuddled by having to share his race track with cousin Carson....that and he was really tired... Aren't we all really tired on Christmas Day? Wonder Why? Hmmmmmm

Aunt Kelsey brought all the fixings to make these cute little mice. I'm definately making them for goodie plates next year!! Grandpa and Ashlyn crashed!!

Christmas Day was a great memory! We ate alot, sat around talked about the good old days........ played games, had a wonderful scripture study. Dad shared some personal stories of tender mercies that left us all wanting to be better people. He's a wonderful man that follows the spirit. Although the house was chaos....it was definately worth the memories. Thanks Dayna and Glen for being the tough ones and sleeping in a tent out in the pool house.....:) We love our family. FUN FUN FUN!!!!

Christmas Eve......AAHHHH!!!

Clam Chowder!!! A Lewis tradition on Christmas Eve. And it was DANG good.....and that's coming from someone that doesn't like fish.

Daddy and Uncle Seth took the girls riding one last time before they went to bed so Santa could come!!

Savannah and Nickie CAN'T WAIT for SANTA!!!! I KNOW HIM!!

Grandma read all the GRandkids a Christmas Story. Aubrey fell asleep sitting up...... don't have a picture of it?!! It was so cute.

Ashlyn spent most of the time asleep in the swing, if she wasn't being held by someone.

Nativity put on by the Lewis Grandkids 12/24/08 Christmas Eve

Christmas was a good one. Loved every minute of it!! We made the trek to Ajo on the 23rd and the party began!! We were so spoiled by the Mom and Dad Lewis. They gave us their room with a King size bed and wouldn't let us be in charge of any meals. It was a blessing to not have to worry about food with a 3 week old baby. There was a total of 34 people there. ZOO!!! We welcomed home dad from his truck run on Christmas and then we all headed to the church for nativity, talent show, and lunch.

Malin the Shepherd Savannah was a donkey...... good sport Savannah:)

Baby Ashlyn played the role of Baby Jesus
