A surprise in the middle of Sacrament Meeting!

What a way to start the new year! Jenna lost her very first tooth in the middle of Sacrament meeting! It's been loose for a very long time. It was barely hanging on and a friend of our told her to twist it! Pop! Just like that- out it came. I rushed her out of there pretty quickly but it was so loose it barely bled at all. She needed one drink and she was good to go! She's growing up so fast! 

Happy New Year from the Douberlys!

Stealing the Show!

While in New Orleans we stopped to see some really great street performers. They told funny jokes, teased passers-by, and did some really amazing break dancing/crazy stunts with their bodies. When the show was nearly over they mentioned the beige bins at the front of the stage...that we could feel free to drop in a $5 or a $10. They had just carried the bins around the crowd and set them back down when Kelsey went over and took some money out of the in and brought it back to us. The people watching got the attention of the performers who laughed and said, "She must be a Republican!" You bet your bottom dollar she is! 

An afternoon in the Big Easy!

DANITA PAPPAS!

Danita has been my friend for nearly 25 years! Wow! She was spending a few days in  New Orleans and I HAD to see her! It had been way too long. We met up at Cafe Du Monde and chowed on some yummy beignets. After our yummy snack we meandered around a bit and talked and had lots of laughs. It was a short little visit, but totally worth it! I love you, Danita!

I couldn't resist posting this...

...she is just too cute! I love this photo of her! 

Merry Christmas!







Here are the troops on Christmas morning. They all had a wonderful Christmas. Thank you to Grandma Pat, Grandma Pamela and Aunt DeAnne for sending such wonderful presents. Everyone was so happy to give and to receive. The children love their new craft table. It's a hit! Dustin and I were also super spoiled- Dustin got a GPS enabled watch with heart moniter that tracks his running. He just plugs it into his computer when he gets home and it tracks distance, speed, length of time. It even puts up a google earth map of where he ran! It's pretty cool. Dustin got me a Kindle Fire which a absolutely LOVE! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, too!
