I took some pictures today of Andrew instead of getting professionals done... There will be more to come. These are just the start. 

Who knew Morgan with a gun would get so much screentime?

Happy Birthday! We hope you had a great one and I can't wait to see you at Christmas!
By the way, Treven wants to know how you like your PSP. We are thinking of getting one. Again, happy birthday and we love you!

Mike, Happy Birthday bro, we miss you guys. I hope that your birthday is an enjoyable one. We are looking forward to seeing you at Christmas time, it seems like we haven't seen you forever, but the blog and pics make it much easier. May your day be filled with endless games and family time. BTW, was that you atop the Stryker?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKE.....from the other side of the world. Mom had a great day with calls and flowers, etc. Friends from the church took her to lunch and the two of us went to a lite dinner together. Looking forward to you family coming in December along with the rest of the clan. Brooke: your mom did a great job of explaining in great detail the Polish nativity scene. L/ Dad and Mom

We had a great Thanksgiving break, relaxing and fun! On Sunday we drove to my aunts house just north of Chicago and met up with my parents there. We went into the city on Monday and went to the top of the Sears Tower and went to a fun house at Navy Pier. Tuesday we drove to the Wisconsin Dells area, where we were joined by my brother and his wife, and stayed at a lodge with three indoor water parks! It was a ton of fun! Late Wednesday night we got back to my aunts house and hurried to get things in order for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was fun and relaxing. Friday morning we went to the Chicago temple and then drove up to my brother’s house in Wisconsin. We stayed there until after the BYU-Utah game on Saturday. WOW!! What a fun game that was!!! Then we drove back home, about a 7 hour drive. It was a fun break!

The best part of the break was finding out that we are moving to San Diego!!! I was in shock for a few days because I figured we wouldn’t really get that assignment but now it has sunk in and I am so excited!! I just want to spend all day looking at housing online! We are hoping to find a 3-4 bedroom townhouse that maybe has a pool in the complex or something. Fingers crossed!!

The second best part of the break was finding out that we will be able to join everyone for Christmas!!! After planning for a quiet holiday around here it will be a big change to get to join everyone for all the fun!! Ticket options are limited this late in the game so we fly out Sunday, December 17th arriving at 12:45PM and we have to leave on New Year’s Eve at 11:10AM.

We are all doing really well and getting excited for the holidays. We have Christmas and the kids birthdays coming up, plus our anniversary so we are very busy!! Brent, do you have any ideas for what you would like for Christmas? Brooke, do you have any ideas for what Jane might like from Hayden? Adina, I have so many questions for you about things like San Diego, a birthday party, gifts, etc. that I am just going to have to email you separately!

Well, I am now scrambling to get everything done so we will be ready for our great trip! We can’t wait to see everyone, and especially can’t wait to meet those two darling babies!!

Sorry about earlier, My mind was elsewhere but Happy Birthday Mom. We love you and can't wait to see you in less than a month. Thanks for all that you have done for me in the last year and being willing to talk to me so often and help me along the way thru pregnancy and birth. You are the greatest.

Love,
Anne
