Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2009!!

Well, it's that time again. Time to celebrate 2008 and look forward to the upcoming year. This year has been busy, fun, and rewarding. Between Thankgiving and the end of the year, the Lee's have been able to do a lot of different activities. We were blessed to be able to visit both sides of the family for two Thanksgiving dinners. That was a lot of food! My mothers sister and her daughter and family, flew in for the holiday dinner. It was great to catch up with them, we haven't seen them for 10 years.
Skyler turned 8 years old on the 14th of December and we are preparing for his baptism on the 3rd of January. I can't believe he is growing up so fast. We had a fun Lego's themed party for him and he had a ton of fun playing with all of his friends. Anne has been busy baking all of her wonderful holiday treats and having fun taking care of the kids.
We did our annual vacation retreat up in the mountains near Midway, Utah. We arrived and there was about 2-3 inches of snow, but the day after we arrived, the storms turned on and we almost got snowed in a few times. We did a lot of sledding, Wii, building gingerbread houses, arts and crafts, and watching movies and shooting nerf guns. There is never a dull moment with these four kids.
Just before Christmas, my sister Beth found out they were having another boy. It seems to be a pattern that the Lee kids seem to have 2-3 boys before having a girl. I believe this will be the 18th grandchild for my parents. We were saddened to hear that my great uncle Pete passed away and we will surely miss him.
When Christmas rolled around we enjoyed a Swedish traditional meal over at Anne's parents house for Christmas Eve. The next day we woke up to the sound of Daxton, Skyler, Ayden and Cambree squeeling for joy to dive into their presents. The majority of the presents that the boys received were lego sets of 1,000 plus pieces, JOY! Anne and I spent over 12 hours helping with the lego sets. Yeah! Can't wait for them to grow out of the lego stage. Cambree got a lot of girly stuff and she wore her new Bell Disney dress for almost two days. She is truly a girly girl. After we opened our presents at home, we headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Lee's House for food, presents and the traditional movie. We had a blast watching Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler.
We are excited about celebrating the New Year and will probably attempt to keep everyone awake to invite the New Year in.
We wish you all a Properous New Year and may you reach your goals and live life to its fullest!!

Love,

The Lee's
