Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas!!!! This year we traveled to St. Greoge to spend a few days with Jannette, Liz & Mom and all the kids. They were in charge of planning the Stewart Christmas party. We had our party in a Barn and it was the perfect setting for a wonderful night. We had almost everyone there. The only 2 that were missing was Trevor (serving a mission in Oklahoma) and Nathan who was unable to get off work. Other than that everyone was there.

She even told Tony that she was grateful for the accident last year when he started her back yard on fire. Last Sunday (May 18th) I cooked dinner and brought it down to grandmas so we could eat out on her patio. Suzie and Keith are on a cruise so I invited Amanda, Keira, Josh & Whitney to join us. Also in the picture is Colton's friend Maggie.
