Our Snowmen






Two weeks ago we had a great winter storm. The boys went outside and played in it for about three hours. Later that evening we had two new snowmen on our front porch. They lasted about a week before they started to melt. What fun snowman snow is!

Christmas 2009










Christmas was wonderful this year. We had a fun time as a family playing games,relaxing, baking and eating what we baked! We were able to talk with Jacob on Christmas Day for 45 minutes and he is doing great. We can hardly wait until February when he comes home. The day after Christmas we had an Ivie Family Christmas Party. Family is wonderful this time of year (and always!)

Candy Houses for FHE


Candy Houses






Last Monday we had a great time building candy houses for FHE. Everyone in the family built a house and they were all creative and different. Kristi made a princess castle, I made the traditional candy house, Daniel made a homeless shelter, Sam made a great house with a life saver fence, Jim a castle, Taylor a KING KONG tower with Kong holding the lady, and Tanner the space needle from Seattle WA. It was a fun evening!

Here are some fun pictures from the month of December so far. It gives you an idea of how much fun we have in the Stephenson family.

Taylor in Washington D.C.









Taylor had the opportunity to go to Washington D.C. the week after Thanksgiving with the CLOSE UP group from Sky View High School. He had a great experience and a lot of fun with his friends.
