Well I am finally posting about christmas and new years! Ryan and I had a great christmas and was able to spend it with both families. We are very blessed to have both of our parents live so close by (free baby sitters someday)! For christmas eve we went to my parents house. We always have a big pot luck dinner and get one present to open on new years and of course it is pj's! My mom (I mean Santa :) gets all the couples matching pajamas, but this year my brothers were scrooges and said they already had too many so one asked for socks (lame!), and the other got slippers! Come on guys it is tradition! (Mom I am always up for santas early present drop off!)

Brook just had to share the love!
This year for christmas Eve my family decided to start a new traditon of white elephants. I honestly don't know why we haven't started this earlier because my fam is notorious for bringing the best white elephants at party's.
Emma got a really cool kite from my brother Chris and I. It had some of the Disney princesses on it. She loved it!
Unfortunatly we don't have many pics because we kept on forgetting our camera, but for Christmas morning we went to Ryans parents and had a really yummy breakfast and opened presents with eachother. I just love spending Christmas with our families!
New Years eve we were suppose to go to Ry's sisters house up in Boise and spend a few day there, but because of the weather being so unpredictable up their we decided to stay home. Instead we went to my parents house and had free steak! The next day we went with my family to Fat Cats up in ogden and bowled and had pizza! It was so cute watching my nephew Aiden and my neice Emma bowl! Emma has cerebal palsy and was in her wheel chair and got SOO excited everytime she got to push the bowling ball. Aiden was so little and every time he picked the ball up he would wobble back and forth bringing it over to the lane!
I hope everyone had a great holiday break!
I made cornish game hens stuffed with wild rice and an garlic soy apricot glaze! It was soo yummy and I was really proud of myself for making it!
I first met Ryan at a bonfire and thought he was cute, but didn't talk to him. He was on one side of the bonfire by himself while everybody else was on the other. I felt bad for him because he had only been home from his mission for about a week and was still afraid of girls! Little did I know that I was going to be set up on a blind date with that same boy and wind up marrying him!
We have had many trials together with the most recent loosing the baby. Fortunatly for us these trials have only made us closer to one another and to the lord. I am so greatful for the adventures and the new life that I have begun with my one true love! It has been hard, but has also been the BEST 4 years of my life! I love you Ryan!
This was the gorgeous sunrise they were able to see!
These are actually salt crystals not snow!
They were driving their airboats right on the snow!
Isn't she beautiful!
