A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS

Hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I can't believe that it is already over, it goes so fast. We had a blast getting to see family and friends and spend Christmas with those we love. Here are a few pictures of our Christmas adventures...

The family got Guitar Hero: World Tour so we jammed out. Jeff is a hard core bass player!

The Beecher Christmas party was on Christmas eve and it was great to see aunts, uncles, and cousins. We missed those who couldn't make it!

and of course I got to spend some time with my sweet niece Gracie Lou, I love that face! (thanks for the pic Katie)

Gracie with Santa for the first time. She was so cute and just chilled on his lap.

Jeffy and I at the Mayberry get together.

Garrett and tankers, they are both so cute!

And we got to talk to Elder Beecher! It was so fun to hear his voice and listen to how much he has grown. He was so cute and asked Alex and Katie how their Book of Mormon reading was. He's such an example to all of us!

You can't keep warm in Russia without a Shopka! He bought one for my dad and Alex so they could stay warm too...

Perfect fit!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Sorry to those we didn't get to see while we were in town. It's so hard to get around to see everyone, especially with all of the Christmas parties that were going on. But we love you all and are thankful for you in our lives!

I was tagged by my sweet sis Katie. I'm suppose to post the 4th picture in the 4th folder of my coputer. This picture is at our ward Christmas party. It was an awesome program and really brought the spirit and reminded us all of the true meaning of Christmas!

Winter Wonderland

Nevada is trying to make us feel at home, how nice!
You can't really tell that it is even snowing in this first picture. If you look at the bushes you can see a little...


...and a little while later there was even more snow...



...and when I went to my car. It's scary to be on the road with a bunch of people that don't know how to drive. They were saying on the news that it hasn't snowed this much in like 30 years, crazy! and that is all they are talking about on the news.

It's suppose to snow most of tonight also, we'll see what the morning brings!

my favorite place

Just wanted to express how thankful I am for a temple so close to us. It is by far my very favorite place to go here in Vegas and it is so beautiful! I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and to know that our families can be forever! I love my family and friends so much. My heart is so full, especially this time of year and I just want everyone to know how thankful we are to have you all in our lives.
