what did I do during the first big snowstorm of the winter season? I ran away. as far as possible. to a place with lots of sun, no snow, and warm, lovely temperatures. and we celebrated both the warm temperatures, and a pre-christmas christmas. this is what we did:

scouted out a location for the family pictures below... {I need to blow the picture on the right up really big and hang it on my wall to remind myself what a cute, sweet boy I have when he is screaming at me and throwing his food on the floor. yes. I think that's what I'll do.}

the family pictures spoken of above. we just love these guys. they're both good friends, and DJ and Lee go all the way back to high school. It was so fun to spend an afternoon taking pictures, and an evening at dinner together. to see more of this cute little family, click here.

a beautiful wedding with the colors being the those of peacock's feathers. cute idea, right? you should have seen all thirty pair of purple and green converses. I can't wait to see what their photographer came up with.

So I totally forgot to tell you, but the temple picture reminded me, that I'm pretty sure I saw DJ's mom at the Distribution Center in Phoenix last week! She was deep in conversation when I saw her so I waited to say hello and then she had disappeared when I turned back around to make my move. So I didn't get to say hi. :( Isn't it such a small world?!
So many great pictures and I would guess, so many great memories for you. You sure are a jet setter- I am at the point where I can't bear to think of making that flight again.
And I really like the picture of you and DJ in front of the temple- such a cute couple picture (and great colors).
Ooh - We love Tia Rosa! It is one our regular stops when we are Mesa. It is right around the corner from our friends Trisha and Butch. Glad your life is good and your little boy is a total doll!
All the pics are so fun! Pre Christmas was a blast, and we can't wait to see more of you!!!!
You are a gorgeous mama!! And great pics as always. I seriously love when you post so I can just look at your pictures.
