Winter Break

Hey guys! As I said in my last post, Step and I spent Winter Break in Utah this year.  And man, was it fun!  Here are some of my favorite memories from the trip! A special thanks to my in-laws for planning such fun activities while we were there! We love you guys!

One of the first things we did as a family was have dinner at The Roof, which is on the top floor of the Joseph Smith building in SLC.  It has an INCREDIBLE view of the SLC Temple AND the Capitol Building and I absolutely loved eating there.

My handsome, handsome, husband!

Over our break, we got to participate in our new nephew Eli's baby blessing!  How handsome is this little guy?!

A Winter Wedding

For Winter Break, Stephen and I had the chance to jet off to SLC for a few weeks! We skied, ate delicious food, saw a few amazing movies, and spent time with some of our favorite people in the world. On our first day in Salt Lake, I had the opportunity to act as a "second-shooter" to my sister-in-law Megan Turley for a beautiful winter wedding.  I'll be honest, I am not pro but I loved being able to pretend for a day.  Here are some of the shots I was able to get!  (For even better photos, check out Megan's blog, link above)

Happy Holidays

First, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  Between driving to see family and work, finding time to post and take pictures has been difficult!  For Thanksgiving this year, Stephen and I got to drive down and visit my family in NC!  I flew down on a Monday and spent an entire week relaxing, decorating, and cooking with my Mom.  It was so fun and I am so grateful we live close enough to visit often!

Love my Mom!

The best turkey I've EVER had! (Good job Dad!)

This past Saturday, Spencer (my younger brother) turned 16!  We went to the movies, ate ice-cream cake and had a blast!!  I can't believe how old he is!

The Birthday Boy!

Lighting the Candles

It's a tradition in our family to get a ice-cream cake for our birthdays.  This year, Spencer chose Sherbet with Vanilla.  Yum!
