Christmas and Denise's Birthday

Wow, did Christmas come and go fast or what? Santa came to the Cummins home and left some goodies for all the boys and girls. Very exciting...although Jeff snuck up early and than when I went to get him he told me all the Santa gifts. Brian and Jeff received a Lightening McQueen work bench. Brian is sporting the safety googles. We had a great breakfast and than went to Nani's house. Jordan drove the entire way. Other than weaving into the right lane a few too many times we made it unharmed. Good job Jordan - maybe a license in '09? We had a great Christmas feast at Nani's and a few more gifts.

For Denise's birthday Denise went, you guessed it, shopping in the am. Than we celebrated her 40th by going out to dinner with the whole family while Jordan babysat the kiddies. Good times. Denise and I than snuck away to Carmel for a day and a half while Kiely helped babysit. Jeff than somehow called 911 and the Sheriff guy showed up. Nice.

Christmas Time Is Almost Here

Jeff and Brian on the big guy in the red suit...they never get tired of this :). Fun times at our annual ward Christmas party. Jordan brought a girl friend and than wouldn't sit at our table. Luckily she finally convinced him to come sit with us. We offered to go on a double date and pay and Jordan is like "heck no." Teenagers...

Monterey Sunset

OK, we just needed a reminder of nice sun set Denise and I saw in our last trip to Monterey.

Very nice...

Thanksgiving Week

There is our 20 pound birds...that turkey looks good too :). Also, Jordan posing for a photo opp.

Thanksgiving week was great at the Cummins' home. I (Mike) went bike riding in Lake Tahoe twice and enjoyed some quiet time (thanks Denise). Got to ride in a light snow storm on the Wed. Thanksgiving day we played 4 on 4 football in the am with some members of the ward. My team won. Than we came home and Denise slept as she worked the last night. We had a great meal at about 5 pm with watching football and some roller hockey in between. Good times...

Denise and I in Lake Tahoe last weekend. Thanks to Jordan and his friend Cody who baby sat ALL day. Kids were still alive and the house was not burned down. The dishes were even done. Nice...thanks Jordan.
