The Ruuths

Christmas was great this year. We were able to go out to California and spend time Justins parents, which was so fun! Mackenna loved opening Christmas presents for a minute, then got sick of it when we wouldn't let her eat the paper. She got lots of clothes and toys! Her favorite toy is a dog that plays and sings. As soon as she opened it, she bent over and gave it a big kiss! Justin got a PS2 and Miranda got an addition to her wedding ring. We went to the discovery museum while we were out there, went shopping, and also got to visit with Justins best friends growing up. Justin loved seeing Greg and Stacey, and Keldon and Amy, so it was a successful trip!

It is so crazy how big Mackenna is getting! She is so close to crawling and gets the right knee under her, and will rock back and forth, but not the left. We are trying to work with her. She makes so many faces. When she thinks something is funny (including herself) she scrunches up her face and her little nose. She LOVES her jolly jumper. She jumps for hours a day. She currently has 4 teeth and is working on her fifth one right now. Sometimes, she's the only thing that can get us through the day.:)

2007 was a great year for us, but we can't wait for 2008 to start. We are looking forward to some big changes. We love St. George, but we are looking to move to get away from family for a little while and expand and grow on our own. We are currently looking into the Provo/Orem area, but we are ready for anything, anywhere. We still have family up there, but we won't see them as much. Justin wants to get out of construction and possibly go back to school. We also want to travel, not far, but just get out together and experience different things.
