Holiday Pictures

Our Holiday pictures
These were from yesterday :)
( I am glad the snow waited )

I just love these pics, Jake is such

a good sport. I always want to do pictures
so every chance I get I have to get a few.
( think it is cause I just find Jake so good looking )
I hope to have the Holiday cards done today,
and send out tomorrow :)

Dreams come true :)

No, it's not dust on my lens, IT'S SNOW ! !
Yes it is snow, here in Vegas Crazy :)
Jake came home on a short break and told
me to look out the window this afternoon
and this was my surprise..
Snow, snow, snow I love it :)
Okay so it's that slushy wet snow that is just
cold and wet, but it is snow !

I only wish it could stick around for a few days :)
Oh well, at least it snowed and I am happy now :)

The Christmas lights at opportunity village

This is my first year here for Christmas
and my first time going to opportunity village
I love Christmas lights, and this was wonderful
to get me into the Christmas spirit. :)
It was so much fun being with Jake, and his family :)

growing up I would watch peanuts (Charlie brown)
Every year the Christmas one would come on and I never missed it,
So I just had to get a picture of snoopy :)

awe how cute, I am glad to know that we
dont need a mistletoe for Jake to give me a kiss :)

Now I just thought this was beautiful, to bad they don't do rides in it

Matti with her uncle Jake :)
She loves her uncle, and well was fascinated with the lights

MERRY CHRISTMAS ! !

our christmas trees

Chi
My little helper :)

Our large tree

Small tree


Last year I thought I would leave the lights on to make things
easier, you know pretend to have one of those really nice trees,
where the lights are on, and they are straight and all..
HAHA Half my lights on the large tree were out, in the middle
of the tree. not the bottom or top where it would be easy to fix..
but no the middle haha.
Well all got done with help of Jake making the tree stand
straight,after I somehow made it lean twice :(
and to Carries help for putting on the decorations
after my arms gave up from putting lights on..

Look at these faces

PRICELESS

I LOVE IT :)

These are the cutest kids ever :)

I'm dreaming of a white christmas (keep dreaming right)

Well we are December now, and well yesterday was 70
and the rest of this week will be in the low to mid 60's : ?
Talk about trying to make it feel like the holidays.
I forgot how beautiful the snow is.
(that is a picture of the canyon road in Payson Utah)
I really dont miss the cold to much, just the beautiful snow
and that cold mountain smell.
I can't really explain the smell, but yes there is one.
Last week when I was up in Utah, I got in at 7 am
The first scent I smelt when I stepped out of the car was
that cold mountain smell, that told me the holidays are here..
Yes I may wish for snow but I know it wont happen here,
so I guess I will have to make do with the fluffy fake stuff
and the window paint haha ( oh sad)
But like I have said, doesnt matter what you get, or where you are
it is who you're with and what you do with that time together. :)
So I will be dreaming of a white Christmas, while I go outside in
a shirt and flipflops :)
