Aird Christmas Party

Ali | December 28, 2008

Because all of my siblings wanted to have Christmas at their own house this year, we decided to have our Christmas party the Saturday after Christmas.  It was really fun.  As you can see, Alonzo loved the new cell phone he got to play with.  Ben and I got a fun game called Snorta.  You [...]

Christmas Day

Ali | December 28, 2008

Christmas was one of my best and worst moments.  Christmas morning was great.  We got up around 7:30 and opened presents with my parents and my brother Dan and his wife Amber.  They told us that they are expecting another baby, so that was fun to hear.  Ben got a new coat for Christmas and [...]

Christmas Eve

Ali | December 28, 2008

Before we left to go down to Salt Lake for the week, on Christmas Eve we opened one present here at home.  It was our own little family Christmas.  Ben got a vest, I got a new thumb drive, and Alonzo got his front facing car seat.  It was fun to do our own Christmas [...]

Ben’s Graduation

Ali | December 13, 2008

Ben graduated with a master of Science in Computer Science on Friday.  I am so proud of him!  His last two semesters he got a 4.0.  Way to go, Ben!  It was such a beautiful day and that’s good because they walked a few blocks outside for the procession before the ceremony.  Because it was [...]

New Cowboy Church Clothes

Ali | December 2, 2008

Alonzo got some new Church clothes.  We went shopping the day after Thanksgiving and got a great deal on two new Church outfits.  I took a picture because I thought he looked so cute.  I don’t know why I couldn’t get him to smile, but what can you do? He just barely learned how to [...]
