Christmas 2009 - Hudsen (5) Clarke (2)
Christmas was such a wonderful fun day in our home. We woke up and saw what Santa had brought, opened presents, made Cinnamon Rolls, and played and played all day. In the evening we went over to my parents and stayed the night with them. Christmas with my cute little family really was so amazing. I just LOVE my family to pieces.
On Christmas Eve before I went to bed, I wanted to take a picture of our Christmas tree, as I tried to turn on our camera it wouldn't work, it would just make this crazy little noise. This has happened before with it, and I had to send it in and wait 2 weeks for it to get fixed. I was so upset and freaking out a little bit that I wouldn't have any pictures of my kids on Christmas morning. Ryan and I worked on it for about 45 min. with no luck. I was so upset, I wanted to cry. I guess I'm a picture freak. As I laid in bed, I prayed that It would miraculously work. About 2 minutes after my prayer I hopped out of bed and went to check our camera. IT WORKED!!!!!! Then I really did cry. I was so so soooo thankful. I'm a very blessed girl.

We are so proud of you Evan!! We love you.
Clarke didn't really get it. He was being really funny and making us all laugh while we were all crying. Clarke- "Are you going on your mission by yourself?"
It broke my heart to see Hudsen cry. She understood that she wasn't going to see her Uncle Evan for a long time.
We are so proud of you Evan. We will miss you, but couldn't be more excited for you and this time in your life. Thank you for always being a great example to us all. We love you dear brother. GOD be with you till we meet again.
