Any Ideas?

Anyone have a good way to use Christmas cards after Christmas is past? They're all so pretty, but I don't quite know what to do with them. I thought I'd check with you to see if you know of some way to use them after the season's over.

Merry Christmas to you!

This is our official Christmas Card to Everyone! We hope the Spirit of the Savior is with you in abundance at this special time of year. Thank you all for touching our lives for good, for your friendship and kindness, for your support and love.


Grandma and Grandpa Pyne and their awesome grandkids (minus Joshie who was sleeping.)

Grandma and Grandpa Pyne with their silly grandkids.
We are so thankful for our family:

Mike, Joshie, Jordan, Kyle, Tanner and Audra Coleman.


Jessie and Adam.


Emily, David, McKenna, Chloe, Jessi, Summer and Lydia Goulding.

Abbi and Chad got to spend the holidays with the Cox's this year. We missed them!


Family Football Stars

We have our own Heisman candidates - Kyle and Jordan are playing flag football.
Jordan intercepted a pass and ran for a touchdown, and scored an extra point on a run into the end zone.

Kyle was great in defense and offense! He runs like the wind.



Tanner enjoyed his own mud bowl playing in the puddles. He's our future all-star lineman.



Audra nursing Tanner's injuries.





Mike kept Joshie entertained during the game.

Mel and Michelle Christmas Vacation 2008

Monday evening we had FHE, and FHE wouldn't be FHE without refreshments, right? The kids got to make cute little reindeer cookies. Delicious!



Jessi gets to experience little boys.

Audra gets to experience little girls.





The Goulding Girls aren't excited about Christmas or anything.......!






Little Joshie knows something exciting is going on.

Audra and Mike let us spend Christmas Eve at their home.



What a fun Christmas Eve.





Back at the Goulding home, Lydia, Summer, McKenna and Emily are ready for Santa to come!



Opening presents on Christmas morning!



On Christmas Day we met at the Church for some fun and games. Tanner needed to bring his new garbage truck and Summer brought her new High Schoool Musical/Barbie car.



Kyle and Jordan showing off their new Bakugan's!


Adam and Jessie's first visit to Georgia as husband and wife.



We started with a rousing game of dodge ball.


Summer preferred putting on her new makeup.



Some were better at dodgeball than others.....



McKenna, Jordan, Lydia and Kyle got in some heavy-duty heelie-ing!



On Friday after Christmas we celebrated Lydia's 8th Birthday at her Aunt and Uncle's gymnastics facility. Happy Birthday Lydia!!



Nothing better than pizza, cake and ice cream.




The adults enjoyed the party just as much as the kids.








Adam and Jessie posing with their numerous nieces and nephews (and one friend).



Grandma and Grandpa Pyne love their grandkids!
What a wonderful Christmas Vacation!!
We all missed our Abbi and Chad, who were being shared with the Cox family.
