Today was a wonderful day for our good friends Audrey and Joseph. They were sealed in the Washington D.C. Temple this morning. We are so happy for them. Doesn't she look so beautiful?! What bride doesn't look great on their wedding day : ). Her dress was so pretty! The weather was decent for picture considering it is December. I'm just glad that it wasn't too cold. This way they were able to be outside without jackets on for their pictures : ). Congratulations Audrey and Joe! We love you.

And here is a picture of the town house that we are going to be moving into. When we finally get the keys, I will be sure to take lots of pictures of the inside too. I can't wait to get my hands on the flower beds to add a little color to it in the spring and summer : ) It will feel so nice to be out of this apartment. I'm really getting tired of caring Navie up all the stairs to get into the apartment.

Christmas

Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas. We had a nice Christmas morning at home. I made a very nice dinner consisting of Cornish Hens, mashed potatoes and gravy, and asparagus. Well, Cris made the gravy. He is so good at making home made gravy... yum, yum : ). I was quite proud of how well my hens turned out! It was my first time and boy were they tasty.


After that we went over to Cris' parents house for a gift exchange and desserts. It was a lot of fun. I got a very pretty dragon fly bird feeder which will look great at the new town house. Our back yard is right up against the park and there are a lot of birds there so I'm sure we will have lots of visitors to the feeder.

And for Grandma Schaeffer, here is a video of Navie playing with her play gym that she got for Christmas. She loves it, which means I love it! It keeps her entertained : )

Christmas at the Schaeffer's

Christmas came early for our family this year. Today we went up to visit my parents and go to the Schaeffer family Christmas party. We definitely made out like bandits : ). Navie of course was more interested in the fireplace channel on the TV and all the bows then what was actually in the boxes : ). Next year will be a really interesting year for sure. We won't be able to keep her away from the gifts : )

We were surprised this year with a gift card to Sears portrait studio. We were planning on getting a family portrait done this month but decided to wait a little and save up since we are going to be moving. Now we can go out and have a picture taken and not have to wait : ) Thanks Mom and Dad!

Mommy bouncing Navie, trying to keep her happy at the Schaeffer Family Christmas party. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone again. The house was packed like all the years in the past but that's what makes it fun, having everyone together mingling in the same room : ). It's sad that we don't get to see everyone more often but life takes you in all different directions : )

Navie and Adrienne together : )

After taking pictures all night, Uncle Bill needed a little down time : )

Adam and little 3 week old Hailey taking a little nap.

Over all, it was a great day. I love this time of year and spending it with family. I love you all. I couldn't ask for more at Christmas time : )
