Christmas Vacation

 Ahhh...vacation, or something like that anyway.  This year we headed to my parent's house to spend several days with them before Christmas.  One after noon all the grandkids that lived nearby headed over and had a party together.  They watched the Polar Express,

 ate yummy spaghetti, and frosted sugar cookies.  The winner was the one with the most frosting..thanks Dad!

 

 That night we headed into town and looked at some beautiful Christmas lights.  

 It was so cold but we had a grand time looking at everything.

 My sister Jenny and her baby Grace had just come in that night from Seattle and met us there also.  By the way, the picture below is the crazies "warming" up by the fire.

The main reason we went to visit was to see my brother Brian get married.  They got married in my parent's shop and it turned out so beautiful.  We were on our feet moving from 7 that morning till late that night and with lots of help from everyone we got it all set up, decorated, food made, served, and cleaned up!

 Brian with his daughter Ezra.

 Beth with her mom and uncle and my parents with the couple.

 Brothers and Sisters (everyone but Spencer and Michele).

 Family and sisters.

 My sister Emily made the cake and I made all the cream puffs.  After minor disaster we got them made and down there and it turned out just fine.

By the end of the night we were absolutely pooped.  But everything turned out fabulous.  Brian and Beth were very happy with how everything turned out and we were so happy that it looked nice and all the food was delicious!
