Lola's SURPRISE 60th Birthday Party!

KYSON'S 7th BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

A day I won't ever forget...

This is Jeffery and I just before we went in to take out my endowments. Words can not describe the feelings I had that day. It was a day I have been patiently waiting for my whole life. And the day that we are sealed, will be the icing on the cake! This temple is a small temple which was perfect, because it made it that much more personable. It is part of the Hawaiian culture to consider everyone family, and they did just that. I am so glad I waited for the right time in my life to go to the temple. I am also very grateful I was able to share this experiance with the right person and my best friend, my husband. I couldn't have asked for a more loving, supportive, fun, and spiritual husband! On the outside he seems ruff and tuff, but, I am so fortunite to know him INSIDE and out.

Jeffery, I Love You more then you will ever know!

Thank You for all you do for me and our family.

Me with my mom and dad. We all walked around the temple grounds and talked and just enjoyed the quite, spiritual feelings we all had. I am so happy my parents were able to be there on this important day. I know they are proud of me and I thank them for being such great examples.

I Love You mom & dad!

The Coltrane Family on Christmas Day!

After we ate breakfast at our house we all hurried up and got ready and went to my parents house. We played games, I made cookies and we watched movies. We stayed with them for 4 days and it was so nice to relax and spend time together!

My parents spent Christmas Eve and Day at our house and just brought our gifts down to us. They got Jeffery & I a new card table & chairs, a piece to our China set, a Scentsy Candle & melts, slippers, and lots more although we all promised to not go all out this year since we are going to HAWAII with my parents in FEBRUARY! (im soooo excited...can you tell?!?)

One of our Alvey Family Holiday Tradition's is to have Travis Boswell come over to play Santa Clause and the kids LOVE it! Travis is a close family friend & neighbor. He was born with a disability. But that doesn't stop him from stay so active! He is smart, a hard worker and very nice to everyone. He works at Reams and has for 17 YEARS! He also works at our local fire station being a volunteer fire fighter. Travis is very special and we all look forward to him coming over EVERY YEAR!
