I have 507 pictures on my camera's memory card! No wonder its been slow at taking pictures! I need to get all thees on a disk asap! Anyway, Christmas was wonderful! My dad was out of town for work (he is a conductor for Amtrak) on Christmas day, but came home on the 26Th. So my family didn't celebrate until then. But it works out great because I got TWO Christmas mornings! Christmas Eve was spent with Landon's family at his cousins house. we ate a yummy dinner, Santa comes for all the little kids, then the adults play a white elephant game. Then we head over to Landon's brothers house to get our cozy Christmas Pj's! (I didn't take any pictures of both Christmas mornings) Little kids make Christmas so much more fun and exciting. It was so fun for us to shop at ToysRus for OUR nieces and nephew, and I say OUR because now they are my nieces and nephew too! I am so excited that I can say I am an aunt! well, not officially yet, but his family always refers to me as Aunt Becci.
Christmas Morning we got super spoiled by His family. One of my favorite presents from his parents was a rod iron quilt rack and a huge gift certificate to Quilters Haven. I got Landon a golf putter that he has been wanting for a very long time. He says it will make his game so much better. (it better because it was 200 bucks. a putter is a putter to me) some much needed jeans, hats, true religion Cologne (it smells soooo good) and some other stuff. Landon got me a Hammock! I have always wanted one. I love laying in it under the sun with a good book. So when spring rolls around, I'm setting that baby up! and a huge Nordstrom gift card, THE best fabric scissors (thees things are so sharp and they cut so nice) and some other stuff....
Then Christmas morning with my family we always get spoiled rotten. My parents gave us a huge flat screen TV. (its currently in my room until we live together, having netflix instantly is pretty rad too! I love it!) and my main present from Santa is a quilting frame! So maybe i can finally get that quilt done that I started back in July. But i don't have room for it until our basement is done being remodeled. and I got a bunch of other stuff too. They gave Landon a bunch of bullet reloading stuff he needs for his bullet re loader that I got him last Christmas, a Hunting coat, and more stuff too. Mom and dad always out do themselves. They say that the spoiling will go right to the gran kids when they have them, but thats ok.
Landon and I on Christmas Eve at his cousin's house
I made this skirt the day before. I am so happy the way it turned out. It is sooo cute and fits me perfectly. It looks better in person then in this picture. No one believed me that I made it. and it's from my own made up pattern! I think i need to go into the pattern making business, I'm getting pretty good at it! I want to make another one in darker colors.
Oh Emerie, I just love you to pieces. she is so cute and is always so happy! I made her that Christmas headband to go with her outfit.
This was before Landon's work party. I wish my shirt didn't look so sloppy in this pic!
This is my aunt Paula's house in Farmington where the wedding will be. this is the view from where Landon and I will be standing. I love how different it is, we will be up high, instead of my walking straight down an isle, i will be walking up stairs on the side up a hill to a gazebo. where my uncle is standing, that's where the family and friends will be sitting. its different and I love it!
her gorgeous yard, there is an amazing pool down there.
water fall and stream with a bridge over it
the gazebo! they will trim the bushes so people can actually see us. thees pictures are just half her yard, i didn't upload the other pictures. but you will see it eventually!
