Holidays 2012

We had a great holiday season! It was nice to be in our own home for Christmas. We were able to be more consistent with our holiday traditions and have more of the Christmas Spirit. I meant to take pictures of some of the different things that we do, lighting candles each Sunday before Christmas, our Danish advent calendar, our jar that we fill with beans as we serve others. But I procrastinated and now Vince has put it all away. So hopefully next year, I will take some pictures of all of the festivities. We have had so much fun with family parties and games, gifts and decorations. But our biggest event this season was Uncle Spencer's wedding. Spencer and Ann were married on December 21, 2012. It was a beautiful day! They make a beautiful couple. We had a dinner at our house the night before and enjoyed getting to know Ann's wonderful family. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple and Vince's parents were there with all nine of their children. What a great blessing! I didn't take a lot of pictures but here are a few from the temple grounds.

First, here is the lovely couple about to share a kiss.


This is me, my sister-in-law Nikki, and Sophie Rose. There are also a lot of other family members in the background.


Here is Aud with her coat on her head. She is never cold and didn't want to keep it on.


I love this one of Landon and Will. Landon is sporting his candy cane cast. He broke his arm the day before Thanksgiving, just a couple of weeks after Will got his boot off from his broken foot. First broken bone for each of them.


Here is Vince, Sophie, and Grandma Peggy (Vince's amazing mother).
