Suprise Wedding

So, we just up and did it. On a nice, sunny, Sunday afternoon at the inlaws house.....after a mission farewell and a huge family dinner, Joel popped in after spending the whole day at Drill and announced it. Within 30 minutes it was over (lucky the Bishop lives across the street!). The kiddos did great keeping it a secret ALL DAY! I loved seeing the look of surprise on everyone's faces! It was awesome! Thanks to Katie for the photos : ) Here's your play by play....

So Peter...how would you like to be an official witness at my wedding...in like 15 minutes?

New Years 2011

So, we had a very fun New Years this year. We went to visit the Higbee's for an afternoon of sledding, chili and fun but we were too late for the sledding (no worries, we've got plenty of time!) Nana Bevan came to visit and join the party. Sam and Saundra (and their family) as well as Uncle Bryn were there too! We had a fun night of the kids singing and playing piano in a talent show and lots of fun conversations. When we got home, we had fun watching the New Years Ball drop and taking pictures in the kitchen. The kids favorite part was drinking sparkling apple cider! Everyone was up WAY past their bed time but we had an awesome night!
