So now that's it's almost Valentine's Day I thought we should update this blog with the Christmas photos we took. We spent about a week in Turlock, California with the wonderful Falke family and had some fun adventures, including going canoeing at the end of December and taking family photos near a huge dam. Looking forward to the coming year and the great blessings it brings into our lives! How grateful we are for each other, our amazing family members, the gospel and all that we have!

The following are from our pre-Christmas celebration with Rob's parents and Maren and Dave. Following tradition we opened crackers and got to wear the paper crowns and each got a little toy, Maren's being a pirate eye patch. Then we all ate cream puffs and had to stick an entire cream puff in our mouth. Fun times! We opened presents- we gave Maren and Dave a game and the 4 "kids" got Sonicare toothbrushes. Very nice! We also had to search the house to find our stockings and had a great time looking everywhere until Rob discovered them in the basement.

SO excited for Christmas! We leave in just 2 weeks for California and can't wait to see all the family, especially baby Jane and Emily (haven't seen her in a year)! What fun! I am very sad my camera hasn't been working but I really want to be better at this blogging thing. We have been married over 6 months now. Life is happy indeed. Rob and I went to the Provo Christmas parade this morning, which was mostly a bunch of local businesses advertising and throwing candy for kids. Santa came by atop a fire engine and it was very cold outside but we had fun and were glad it waited to snow till this afternoon! We spent Thanksgiving this year with Rob's parents, his sister Maren, her husband Dave and Grandma Somers! What a wonderful break from work and school and a time to focus on the tremendous blessing we've been given! What a fabulous year it's been!

Life is HAPPY!

Here we are! The first time as Mr. and Mrs. Somers!

We did it!

So it's been 3 months since our wedding but we got the pictures back not too long ago and since we haven't really shared our blog with anyone yet it doesn't matter too much how long it's been! Here are a few photos of the big day. It was amazing and we are so, so, so grateful to all who helped!

Less than a week!

Apparently we haven't caught on to this whole blogging thing yet, since it hasn't been updated in MONTHS! Well the wedding day is almost here and we couldn't be more excited! Thanks so much to all the wonderful friends and family who have helped in the planning process. Can't wait to see you soon in Rexburg! Happy, happy times!
