~New Years Eve~

India was able to go to Bestamor and Bestafar's cabin for a big kids New Year's Eve sleep over and Jay had to work....so while waiting for Daddy to come home we went sledding at 10 O'Clock at night in our front yard. It was actually the first time either of the little ones have been sledding. Daddy found is sledding across all the neighbors lawns when he came home...we moved in doors for snacks, movies and a camp out in the living room under the Christmas Tree!

~Christmas Morning~

Christmas Morning!!

I love Christmas and now that we have kids it is the best. I just love when they see what Santa brought and open their gifts. Christmas eve is usually a get together with everyone so it is pretty busy....Christmas is so much fun as we stay in jammies all day, play with new toy's, eat yummy stuff and just be together.

~*~*~*Happy 4th Birthday to our little Marley Ireland*~*~*~

We spent our little Marley's birthday with so many wonderful friends and everyone went to Jumpin' Jacks....what a wonderful time we had.

~*~*~* They had so much fun *~*~*~

~*~*~Here we go.....~*~*~

~ Birthday girl Marley Ireland turns 4~

Our little Marley Ireland is just a fantastic little girl. She is amazing to me. When she was born I use to sing her to sleep (imagine that she actually slept while I sang....hmmmm) by singing "You Are My Sunshine". That is what our little Miss. Marley is....a great shining ray of sunshine. The more she learns and grows, the brighter her light shines. We just can not believe how smart she is....reflections of big sister India. The birthday girl woke up with a 101 fever, however she was still bouncing with excitement. She had breakfast with presents in bed.... for some reason it was our bed as that seems to be the gathering place for the kids. She loved her waffles with 4 candles, eggnog with whip cream ( much to Justin's dismay) and peaches with of course more whip cream. She had a wonderful morning and was able to enjoy herself....however by noon she was really not feeling very good. She is such a a joy to our family.

~The Griswold....oops The Footit Family 2008 Christmas~

I am so amazed that this year has just flown by. So many things have happened....some good...some great and others are not worth mentioning. I love Christmas and I am always so excited to get out everything and put fall away and bring on winter and the blessings of Christmas. I feel pure joy when I think of the birth of our savior and all that he has been done to give us eternal life. So as noted above "Peace & Plenty" to all.
