Surprised to hear from me so soon? (It's only been 5 weeks...) We have so much "katchup" to do, so without further ado....
--------
Christmastime was spent in Arizona, and it SNOWED (of all the nerve)!
So we built a snowlady!
Serenity, Abigail, Miss Snowlady and I
Attending Harmony in the Desert.... I enjoyed the music and time spent with friends as always :)
Lauren and I
Jason and Joanna got to fly back out with me for Harmony in the Desert, adventuring and Skiing!
Jason
and
Joanna
We went to the Grand Canyon and enjoyed a scenic bike ride around the rim!
Jason, Kelvin, Seth, Andrew and Wesley
Aunt Elizabeth and Mom
After the Grand Canyon we got to visit with some friends in Flagstaff, AZ
Having fun with these hammocks (Justus)
Let's see if he will drop out! (Audrey, Bethany and Lincoln)
Friends....
We went on a hike through Tonto National Bridge
Serenity and I
(You should be impressed, it's was harder to get up there then it looks!)
Then it was time for skiing! We always have such a blast :) I can't wait till next year...
Let's GO!
It was Joanna and Jason's first time skiing... They picked it up fast and
were totally pro by the second day!
Crazy skiers
(Abigail and Hadassah)
Mom and Bethany
Jason
My amazing, skiing Dad (why didn't I inherit this talent???)
Lincoln
Me... hitting the slopes, literally
Kaitlyn and Justin - Newly Engaged
The big group of us :)
Sadly, all good things must come to an end.... and we began the looooonnnnngggg trek back home.
(Thankfully, Jason was along to help drive and we made it home in record time :D)
A short stop in St Louis to see the Arch
...Back home again...
Enjoying the snow!!!

Here's a freebie car tip: Don't (and I repeat) DON'T ever, under any circumstances, lock your car doors when it's
below freezing outside.
You will be outside for an hour (at minimum) with a teapot full of boiling water and a blow dryer
(just string an electrical cord out the garage door)
Example below:

Happy Birthday Grammy :)
Grammy with all us grandchildren
Then it was a day trip to NYC with some girlfriends
(Thank you Uncle Steve and Aunt Jen!)

Then (to quickly) it was the day before the wedding!
(don't kill me Juliana, but I loved this pic)
Bridesmaids and Flower girls....being fabulously ourselves...
The Happy Couple!

THE BIG DAY!!!!
Awe :)
Bridesmaids photo!
Uhum
The wedding was of course beautiful, and the couple very happy. I felt so privileged to be a part of their special day! I miss you Kaitlyn, but I know you're "oh so happy" :)

Practice, practice, practice...
