Hardie Family Christmas

Whitney is Nate's new favorite from the Joe and Whitney Hardie family. She slipped him a little candy and the new bond was sealed! Just kidding. Nate warmed up to her naturally.

Thomas the Train ranked no 1 on Nate's list of best presents for Christas 2008. Way to go Grammy Hardie! "Hello Sirtopamhat." "Hello Thomas."


Grandpa and Paul got to do some Hardie men bonding. Paul now knows all about Spudman now. He mentioned after Dad left that he wants to go to Oklahoma State for college and then run a farm.

34 years this May and still smiling. Quite an accomplishment! Thanks for all the meals, presents and fun. It was good having the Oklahoma crew out here this year. The drive is more than adventurous, but it does make for good memories. Look out 2009!

Here's the whole crew on the 26th including Whitney's Grandma. (Whitney sorry about the flash in the window. The one without it was worse. Next year we'll let you take the pictures).

What do you mean the whole Hardie crew? You can't kick me and Becca out of the family just because we couldn't make the trip out to Utah over Christmas. I give this post four poopie diapers.

Did you have to use the word poopie?

I loved the pictures. Thanks for posting on the blog. I need to get a lesson in how to add pictures to the blog. I'm out of the tech loop.

Hey Carl - Maybe if you come visit for Christmas next year, I'll send you a Christmas CD with fewer playful Carl insults - but no guarantees :o)

WOW! What a good looking bunch! We've got to find "middle ground" somewhere to get the whole group together. Let me think...somewhere between NYC and SLC...maybe, Chillicothe Missouri. It's about time for a Hardie party. Missouri style. Think it over. We have lots of room between the empty kids bedrooms and the basement. We'll be all kid-proofed by next Christmas too. Carl and Becca could even sneak back and forth from Kansas. What a deal!
