Merry Christmas!

I know some of you thought I dropped off the face of the Earth, but I am still alive. We just spent Christmas with my family in CA, so I thought I would post some pictures.

We got a little bit of snow at home before we left...here is the back yard. Love the snow!

My neice, Claire...what a cute face to see right when we arrive!

Gracie, Tyler and Paige

The girls...after ice skating

Dad & Paige dancing in the rain (inside)

Waiting in line (a short one, thanks to the rain) for Thunder Mountain

The castle at Disneyland all lit up! It was beautiful in person

The crazy coaster Nyle and Kyle rode at Knott's Berry Farm

The boys with Claire. She sometimes got a little too much of them

Syd on Christmas morning...

I didn't get any shots of the boys that wouldn't embarass them. So, you only get to see Syd's cool hairdo!

Sydney when she got all cleaned up and ready for the day.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We sure did.

Jessica's Wedding

My beautiful neice Jessica got married yesterday in the Portland Temple. I was lucky enough to get to do her hair...here are some pictures.

Her wedding and reception was awesome! I was so happy to be a part of it and to watch her on the happiest day of her life (so far). Good luck girl!
