Christmas Day

Christmas Day I got off work, went home to change and get Michael then we headed out to his sister's house to have Christmas morning with the DeMark family. We had a great time opening presents, watching the kids open presents. Matt cooked us his famous breakfast and then I was done for. I went to take a nap. We then headed over to Grandma DeMark's house for an early dinner, games, and more presents:) We had a great time with both families this Christmas!

Michael & I on our way to Angie's definitely not tired, can't you tell:)

Christmas Eve

Our first Christmas as Man & Wife... Since both of our families are around here we had to find a happy medium between the two. Two make things a little more difficult, I had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at 11pm. What we decided to do was to have Christmas with my family at our house on Christmas Eve and spend Christmas Day with Michael's.

Christmas Eve, my family came over, we played games, ate a spaghetti dinner and went to church. We came home from church and opened presents...

Hope everyone had a great Christmas... Merry late Christmas and God Bless!!!

Every year Michael's sister Angie puts on an amazing Santa party for all the kids. Everyone gets to sit on Santa's lap and get a present. Here are a few pics from the whole ordeal.

VEGAS 2009

Michael and I went to Vegas the beginning of December to support my sister in the Rock & Roll Marathon. It was amazing, a long weekend of shopping, gambling, lights, shows and running:) It was a nice little vacation. Here are a few pictures from our adventures:)

Thanksgiving 2009

This Thanksgiving was a crazy one!!! Our first Thanksgiving as a married couple:) I love being able to say that! We started at Michael's parents house for our first turkey dinner then headed over to my parents for our second turkey dinner:) To say the least, we were stuffed to the rim by the end of the day. After our second dinner, Michael's parents, his sister and the kids came over for some pie and to hangout. After they headed home, the rest of us played a game of 45 which I lost horribly at. It was a great but very busy day! Here are some pics from our adventure.

Darius Rucker 2009

Darius is becoming one of my favorite Country artists. Michael saw him in concert when he was younger in Hootie and the Blowfish. If you weren't there you definitely missed a great concert!!!

Catching up...

In September, Michael's Family threw us a second reception here in Boise for all our friends and family who weren't able to come to Tahoe. Michael's sister was amazing to host it in her backyard. The DeMark family was amazing. Aunt Lori, Grandma DeMark, Lisa and Joe made us cupcakes for our desert, the display was more than we could have even imagined. Here are some pictures of the event:)

Thanks to everyone who helped out!!! We love you all!!!
