Mark and Helen gave Brandon this kewl hat and some fake grill blink which he had to show off to the camera. This picture was taken the night of the family holiday party on the 8th of December 2008.

Mark and Helen sent us these pictures of them, their car and of course Finnegan. Their family is growing bigger and bigger all the time.

Marci won some tickets for Jeanie and me to attend the Neil Diamond concert this last Friday (19 Dec 2008) night. A local radio station was giving away the tickets and Marci sent them an email saying she wanted the tickets for her Mom and Dad who recently returned from a two year stint in Iraq. She made the email short and simple and she won. The radio station called her to tell her she won and she said they even put the phone call on the radio live. We didn't hear it though. We had a wonderful time at the concert and the dinner we went at the Olive Garden prior to the concert.

Family Holiday Party

Mark and Helen came to Utah the first weekend of December for Mark's drill so we had our Holiday party. It was held on Monday evening the 8th of December at our house. Here is a picture of everyone. I barbecued some chicken, ribs and steak.

The kids all exchanged gifts and Mark and Helen gave gifts to Brandon and Bailey.
