A boy and his love...Shamu...






David's Dad's Gift...


David's Dad gave all of his kids a copy of the picture he drew of the Savior. He has been working on it for the last part of the year and wanted it ready to give to us for Christmas. He calls it "his legacy". He has always been a great artist, but none of us have any of his work. We all were so excited to recieve such a special gift. It is hard to tell, but the picture of Christ is made of all dots. It was a special Christmas gift.

Santa Claus came to the Grogan's!

We had a great Christmas morning with the kids at Dave's Mom and Dad's. The kids were very excited about the treasures that Santa had brought them this year. Santa brought the kids Guitar hero...and let me tell you...it rocks! Dave and I have played it more than the kids and now see the screen of notes in our head as we listen to music. Later in the day Dave's brother and sister came over with their famlies. We had a fun time playing cards and beign together. It was a great Christmas!





The best Christmas gift this year...

My family..the Campbells, recieved the best Christmas present this year...a package from Jessica. She made us wait until Christmas Eve to open it...and yes we listened. (: My Mom had the honors of opening the package and reading the letter. Which is a very hard task to take on. We opened it and inside she had a small treasure for everyone. the best treasure was a DVD that she made for us. We were all missing her as we read the letter and saw our gifts, but as we watched the DVD we realized that she is were she needs to be. She is having so much fun and learning so much. And we don't miss as much...well kind of. Spain looks amazing! Her Spanish is so good too...though she says it needs alot of work. We are all so proud of her!

So Jessica...funny girl...was filming and thought if she turned her camera that it would autocorrect...but it didn't so we had to turn the screen to see it the right way.

Grinchmas!!

We went to Universal Studios for the "Grinchmas" festivities...we went with Dave's sister Kim adn her son Lucas. We had a great day!
