The snow was so pretty today I took my camera outside after work. Turns out the sun still sets way too early. :)

casey jo + matt's wedding - los angeles, ca

Casey and Matt were married on December 27th in the Los Angeles temple. I couldn't have been happier to spend the weekend with them.

we took bride + groom photos the evening before the wedding. you can't tell, but it was surprisingly chilly.

the next morning, after the ceremony:

casey's grandfather announcing the new couple:

an evening reception at casey's granparent's home in thousand oaks, california:

Computer troubles. :( Nothing serious, but I can't get my post up. Hope to be back soon!

brownie junior six-20

This was one of my most treasured gifts I received from my family this Christmas. It's the cutest little old brownie junior camera. Before I add it to my shelf collection, I might need to give it a try. Look at it's vintage manual. So fun!



cute photo from the manual

joy to the world

and a beautiful christmas in colorado with my most favorite people.

p.s. i didn't post nearly as many pictures as i wanted!
p.p.s. several of these were taken by my sis janelle who is a brilliant photographer. i'd hand her the camera so casey and i could be in some pics and then she'd take a bunch of other gems that i could not leave out! :)

first order of business: eat all the yummy food in sight.

second order: decorate the tree.

spend time with grandparents:

receive some beautiful gifts, like old family history photographs:

play with the pup:

talk to elissa, our missionary in argentina!

do christmas-y things together:

share gifts:

love santa:

get a grill:

be so happy. (and then so sad when you have to leave.)

come home to a very pretty + frigid utah. (taken from casey's parent's backyard):

best wishes to all of us who will return to life this week! :)
