Christmas Season 2008

The one on the top is John, GAbe, Steve and Jaimee holding Kate

JOhn is considering world problems

GAbe is determined to do one lesson a day and get this physics on-line class finished. He will take time off to go skiing at night because it is a bargain price at $10.

Randee enjoys the warmth of the fireplace and is wearing a beautiful

jade necklace that is heart shaped. She seems to enjoy being in Boise even if we have had more snow than usual.

Kate enjoyed the presents and the wrapping. Daddy Scott put together the stroller, bed, etc.

Ron and Randee enjoy the fireplace.




The two of them at dinner on Sunday.



I am sorry about the picture arrangement. My visiting teacher has offered to help me use another program that will help with that problem.

My Time To Babysit

So it is no secret that in the Gabrielsen household, we take turns babysitting. On my week off, I usually help out. Momma G went to get a plantars wart removed and sister\aunt Denae showed up as the babysitter. These pictures depict the type of babysitting experience that was had by all!

Todd, Liz, Lance and Lance Visit Boise

Laine loved playing the organ; she can follow the downbeat very well.

Those cupboards need cleaning. Mom and Dad have plenty of canned corn for the occasion.

Under the sink held many marvels. When Liz cleans, one knows it is CLEAN.

Lance in his " shirt of many colors" touches up the kitchen cupboards and the supports for the granite counter.

Todd and Liz are ready to go to the Christmas Party of Source One. Todd received his plaque and a promise of a vacation somewhere. Last year they went to Education Week.

Lance loves color. He chose this red Impala for the rental car.

Laine Loves Her Rabbit Annabelle

Nine Year Old Laine loves her rabbit even though Annabelle has been digging holes in the back yard.

ABout that Utah-Game

Yes, that is a Utah tie that Lance is wearing...He lost the bet. We heard that Jake agreed to shave his head.

THE GABRIELSENS TOGETHER AT LAST

We haven't been together since before my mission! It was fun to sit around and celebrate Saren's birthday.
