A Wedding and Two Christmas Parties

On Friday, December 5, I took the pictures for my cousin Megan's wedding. It was fun to be able to do that for her. She was married in the Salt Lake temple, and afterwards had the luncheon and receptions at some churches in Layton.

Here are some pictures from the day:



Saturday morning was our ward Christmas party. Yummy breakfast food, an excellent program, and a visit from Santa were just some of the highlights. The funny part was that the power went out right in the middle of Santa's visit, so Santa and the kids had to move to the foyer.

Here are some pictures of the party and the kids' visit with Santa. Of course, Mackenzie was still not so sure about Santa.



On Saturday evening, we hosted a not so annual but we try Christmas Open House. Grandma and I spent most of the day preparing food and adding to the menu, fearing we'd run out of food. However, that ended up not being the case.

It was so fun to see those of you who were able to make it. We sure miss the constant association that we used to have with everyone. The Open House is a great excuse to touch base and see those of you we haven't seen in way too long, as well as our new friends. I was having so much fun visiting that I didn't take a single picture. Shame on me!

We way over did the food. We had more leftovers than we did for Thanksgiving. We'll be eating treats for weeks (long enough to make it to Christmas). So, if you're feeling hungry, come on over...
