Grandma Marla and the grandkids

It was so great to have grandma come and help with the new baby. Everyone had a great time playing cards all night and eating a lot of junk food. It was especially great for Nicole because she could just wake grandma up in the middle of the night to take the baby and she'd go back to bed. We sure do miss grandma.
Gabby sure does love her new baby brother. Too bad that he has already punched her in the face and given her a bruise on her cheek.

All the cute Sampson kids. All from the same cookie cutter. It's a pretty good cutter.


The nurses at the hospital were all taking bets on what the W. stood for. Most of them thought we had named him after the president George W. Bush. They were disappointed to find out it was for Warren, just a family name. They also didn't find the humor in knowing that there was a Mormon prophet named this. It's kind of our Mormon inside joke. I hope Spencer has a good sense of humor.

Happy New Year!

Instead of watching the "ball drop" we watched a stunt show that was done on the Vegas strip. The boys were definately more interested in cars doing stunts than Dick Clark doing the countdown.

Giving Spencer some love...

At midnight all of the kids went outside to do sparklers....it was COLD!

Ward Christmas Party

This year our ward decided to split the ward Christmas parties....one for the adults and one for the kids. The primary had all of the kids wear their pajama's, the bishopric cooked pancakes and Santa Claus came to visit. Gabby, asking for "rainbow hair to the floor"
