Christmas Morning!














































Well, Our children decided to wake up at 5 am and wanted to rush in and see what Santa had brought. Under protest, Shane & I crawled out of bed to have Christmas Morning with the kids. They were so excited by what they got and have been busy playing with it for the last two days. Here are a few pictures of the morning. Hope all is well with everyone! Love the Randall Bunch

The Wiltbank Family Christmas Party!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Pretty Crazy, but it was lots of fun! We all met at Jonna & Daryl's house and had dinner (Haystacks). Then we decided to load all the kids onto a trailer and go caroling. It was raining and very cold. Chelsie & Shelby got us some big umbrella's and blankets and we tried to keep warm! Jonna & I were remembering the times as children when we would leave the seminary building and get on the trailer to go caroling only there was lots of snow on the ground and it was down right cold! But I also remember as a kid how rewarding it was to see the smiles on people's faces and the tears in their eyes as we sang about the Savior and Christmas! Even though we were cold last night we also were able to see the smiles on their faces and the tears in their eyes. It was so much fun! Then we headed back to the house and we had dessert & hot coco! We called Grandma Debbie & Randall on the phone and sang to them too! To finish up the night we had a Christmas ornament exchange and played "Dirty Santa"! The evening was lots of fun and we enjoyed being with each other! We hope that this Christmas Season your family will feel the Love of our Savior. Merry Christmas!
Love,
The Wiltbank Bunch

I wanted to try and post these video clips for Grandma Debbie to watch! I am not sure if I know what I am doing but I will give it my best shot!

Desert Mountain Elementary Christmas Concerts




Yes it is that time of year! Christmas Concerts!! Kara & Conner had their performances last night. Lets just say that there was alot of people and we were stacked in the cafeteria like legos. Anyways, they both did a wonderful job on their songs and sang so loud. I just wanted to post a few of the pictures I got. Merry Christmas to all!

The Randall's Merry Christmas Letter!

Well, I guess I decided that this year we would do a Christmas letter on our blog. We have been so busy with kids stuff and Christmas, and don't forget expecting another baby that this is all there is! So I just wanted to write a letter and let you all know how our family is doing! I guess I will start from the top and go down!
Shane- He is really busy with work. His efforts to get a branch opened in Arizona has finally paid off. We are excited to report that it will open in Feb. He also was called to be the Scout committee chair in our new ward. Yes I did laugh about this until I cried. For all of you who know Shane, he is NOT a camper! I just really found humor in this calling. He will do a fine job. The kids keep us really busy and Shane is such a great dad and husband!
Shelby- She is busy with school and Young Womens. Shelby has made some good friends at school and she is getting A's & B's. She is really doing an awesome job at school! She loves YW and enjoys going to activities every week. She will be starting soccer soon and is looking forward to that.
Conner- He is in the fourth grade and enjoys school alot. He also enjoys playing football in the house with Shane. He is such a good big brother and loves to play with the kids. Conner & Carson love to get on the computer and play star wars together. Conner is also involved with scouts and loves doing that as well.
Kara- She is in the First grade. She really enjoys school. Her teacher tells me that she is the best student in the class. She also loves to play with her sister Mallory. They play school, church, and baby dolls alot. Kara is so sweet and we have so much fun having her in our family.
Carson- Well, Carson! He is really into Lego's, Star Wars, & Star Wars! Anything that Conner does Carson Does! He sometimes gets bored with mom at home, but he is such a good boy! The other night I sent him to brush his teeth and he used BenGay instead of toothpaste. Boy that was fun! What a crazy time! Anyways, he is so fun and sweet!
Mallory- Well the baby of the family for about another month. She is at such a fun age. She loves to color, play with her new baby "Abby". And she really likes to tell Carson what to do! She cannot say the word "Carson" so she started calling him "Buddy" it is so cute to hear her say that. She is at such a fun age! She loves to explore, play with her toys, and most of all she loves to READ! ALL THE TIME!!!
Me- Well, not a whole lot going on with mom. Just being really pregnant and tired. Trying to keep up on housework, homework, and laundry. Not much else to say other than I would love to get a personal cook, toilet cleaner, and laundry lady for Christmas! I guess I better not get my hopes up too high!!!

We hope and pray that this Christmas Season will find your families full of Love, Happiness, Hope, & Peace. May we all remember our Savior this Season and all year through. He has given us so much to be grateful for. We have a wonderful Family, & Great Friends. We wish you the very best this Christmas Season and through the next year.
Love, The Randall Family
Shane, Becky, Shelby, Conner, Kara, Carson, & Mallory
