Christmas with the Hesterman Gang-2009

For the first time in 4 years, all of the Hestermans were together for Christmas! We had such a great time, I was thrilled to have us all together.
The day after Wendy arrived, Terry invited us to come to his amazing place to enjoy the amenities.
Finally, we got the 4 siblings together for a picture!

When Sally saw Santa coming through the door, she jumped up and ran to him. It was so cute.
The kids got to decorate some Christmas ornaments.

The big kids got some foosball in.
Sally liked the bunny.
And grandma loved holding Ruby.

Then it was off for tubing.



The Lewis' luggage hadn't arrived, so we had to make do...Coleman is pretty stylish, huh?

Christmas day was awesome! To have Wendy's family, Emily's family, and DJ all there made it a wonderful morning.





After Christmas, we went and enjoyed the Christmas lights and spirit at Temple Square. We were all there, but DJ left early.
David worked it out so that we could spend 3 days at a lodge in Castle Valley. We turned into gunslinging, ATV and horse riding fools!
We had people wait on us, make our beds, and feed us. It was fantastic!!!
Emily put our name in the snow...this is the lodge where we stayed.


Everybody loved the ATVs, especially the boys.

I can't tell how happy I was to be taking pictures of my 4 kids.
We got to ride some horses, it was a first for a few of them.
All the grandkids together in their jammies, how cute are they???
Here are my darling little gun slingers!
To have all of our kids together was a dream come true. Sure, the house was a mess, there was always a kid or two sick or crying, but it was a wonderful thing to see all four of our kids enjoying each other. I will cherish this time together forever!

I Love Florida!

Wendy lives a beautiful place, but the best thing about it is not the white sand or emerald water, it's the grandkids I get to see!

We went to the beach to try to get some pictures. Sally came in a mood, and pretty much was not cooperating the whole time. Even so, we got some pretty good pictures. With such great subjects, it helps.

I love how this turned out.
I got tons of cute pictures of Alice, she was adorable.
We went at sunset, the sky was beautiful!





One more, I think this is such an adorable picture!

October is Our Birthday Month

Happy Birthday to my favorite daughters that were born in October, Wendy on the 7th, Emily on the 8th, and Amy on the 21st...also Alice on the 7th and Sally on the 13th!

I am so thankful to have wonderful daughters who are great people, but more importantly, fantastic mothers.



They are all amazing at so many things, I can't name them all. I am so proud to be their mom!

# 8 Is On the Way!!!

Last week during our semi-annual dinner for the girls while the boys are in the priesthood session, Sophie was sitting next to me. Suddenly she blurts out, "Grandma, my mom is going to have a baby!" I was totally surprised and thrilled. Amy was not quite ready to share the news, but when you tell the kids, it is just a matter of time. We are growing at at least 1 grandchild per year, and loving it! Yea for new babies!
