New Years Tubing

For New Years we went up to Dave and Nancys Cabin. Dave and John made us a bunch of tubing trails with his snow cat the night before. They were seriously unreal. We had such a great day! It was great to be together with the Whittaker side, and start the year off right.

Easton, Boom, and J

So let's just say that Dave is so crazy, but oh do we love him. My dad went down one of the hills and almost ran into the fence. So what does Dave do he takes the fence out and makes the trail even longer. It doesn't get better then that. My dad was quite the die hard. I think he tubed more then anybody else. He is just like one of us kids, and I love it! Him and Dave went down in the plastic toboggans. I seriously though we were going to go to the ER for how fast they were flying. The best part was them colliding into each other.

Me and Shea

It was a cold day. Can you tell by the icicle frozen to my hat?

Meg, Shea, and I decided to go down on the plastic Toboggans. Let's just say I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. We literally flew down the mountain. I was scared for my life.

This is what happened to us. Let's just say we got a little out of control. Meg was completely buried in the snow. She voted not to ride in the front again. She was sure a good sport though!

I love this picture of Easton. It doesn't get cuter then that

Dave sure spoiled us and came and picked us up in the Cat so we didn't have to hike up every time.

We had such a great day! I am so grateful that Dave and Nancy let us come up to there Cabin. We are lucky to have such great friends and family that we can play, laugh, and enjoy each others company. Happy New Years!!!

Merry Christmas

NATIVITY

This year we Put on the Nativity it was so much fun! John and Cathy put the program together. We sang songs in between and I got to play the piano. Cathy had great costumes put together as well. It truly brought the true meaning of Christmas! It reminded us all why we celebrate Christmas.

Christmas Day

We spent the day at John and Cathy's. Everybody brought there favorite dish. So the food was delicious! I definitely ate way to much, but hey it was Christmas! We played games, put on the nativity, ate, and ate again, shared our favorite Christmas memory, and just enjoyed being together as a family!

CHRISTMAS MORNING

We woke up around seven o clock. Jensen woke up every couple hours to see what time it was. It is so fun to be home with my brothers for Christmas. Seeing as they are still young. It was weird to have it only be the three of us though! We came down stairs to see what Santa brought us. We were spoiled like usual. Sometimes I wonder why I was so fortunate to be blessed with all that I have. I truly am grateful. Shea, Kyle, Gege, and pop all came over, and had breakfast with us, and also shared a very important phone call. We then opened more presents. It was a great morning.

PHONE CALL

The highlight to my Christmas was getting to talk to Logan. We got to talk to him for 45 minutes. So we each got five minutes. It went by way to fast. He sounded so great, and even had a little bit of an accent. My mom came in and told me my time was up, and let me tell you saying goodbye was so hard. I just cried! Everybody talked to him, and then we put him on speaker phone and he bore his testimony in Spanish. Although we didn't understand a word that he was saying we felt the spirit so strong. My parents then got the rest of the time. I wanted to talk to him one more time so I picked up the phone, and talked to him in my retarded voice. At first he was like huh, but then he started talking in his voice too! It was hilarious, and just what I needed. He is such an amazing person who makes me want to be better everyday. I know that he is giving it 100% and truly doing the best that he can. I love him so much, and miss him like crazy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I had a great Christmas. I am truly grateful for the true meaning of Christmas. For the birth of my Savior. I am grateful for the sacrifice that Mary and Joseph made to bring him into this world. I am grateful for my Savior, and for the life that he led. For his example. I am grateful for his atoning sacrifice for me. He gave me the opportunity to repent of my sins so that one day I can return and live with him again. I truly love him, and am so grateful that we could celebrate him this Christmas!

Christmas Eve Fort

Christmas Eve we always make a fort in Eastons room and sleep in it. It is such a blast! We sure missed Log and Shea this year. It was weird with just the three of us, but we still had a great time! I forget what crazy sleepers my brothers are. Jensen woke up three different times to see what time it was. Finally seven rolled around and we were able to get up! I am grateful for my brothers who keep me young! It makes Christmas really fun!

Christmas Eve

We had our Annual Christmas Eve party at Gege at Pops this year. We had a delicious candle light dinner. My grandma always goes all out. I love it! We then went and gave baskets full of goodies around. We took them to the Pulleys, and then my grandpas two cousins, Charley, and Blanch. Blanch kept us laughing the whole time. She is 97 and the cutest little lady you will ever meet. I love getting the chance to see them! We then came back and opened presents. We were spoiled. We truly are so blessed. I am grateful that I got to spend time with my family. I love them all so very much, and am grateful for each and every one of them.

Our traditional Christmas photo

Each year we get Christmas PJ's which we all love! We always take a picture on the stairs as well. We were definetly missing some people. It was weird to be the oldest, and not have Shea, and Log there!
For the Past three years me, Dev, and Shea have made my grandparents a homemade gift. It is so much fun to think of something to do. My grandpa is getting into photography so we had him come and take our pictures, and that is why we gave my grandma. The my grandpa we found him a photo album and filled it with some of the amazing pictures he has taken.
Me, Dev, and J

We had a great Christmas Eve! Thanks Gege and Pop for all you guys do!

Christmas Break with the boys

I just had to share these pictures with you because I think they are a riot. I have had so much fun being home with my two brothers. They are constantly keeping me laughing. There is never a dull moment at our house.

Can you tell that we are related

E John is just so dang cute! I had worked the other night, and came home to sleep at the house so that my parents could go to the temple. So in walks Easton around nine o clock. He was like finally your awake. I am so bored and lonely. It was pretty dang cute! So he climbed into bed and snuggled right in with me. It was pretty cute! He also helped me do my Christmas shopping and we were on our way home and he looks at me and was like Jord do I need a haircut, and I told him well yeah kind of! Then he just started laughing and said, "Let's go in mom's work (she cuts hair at sports clips) and tell them that I need a hair cut ha ha! I laughed so dang hard especially because he was dying of laughter and just thought he was hilarious!! Where would we be without cute little E in our lives.

No more Braces for Jensen

BEFOREAFTER

Jensen got his braces taken off last Monday. His teeth look great! I can't stop looking at his cute smile. He told us that the chicks better watch out when they get back from break because he is lookin good!! He keeps us laughing that is for sure!
