Big morning for Emily

Before . . . 

After!

A Visit From Santa

Santa visited our ward's Christmas party on Saturday morning.  We lucked out this year because it was a PJ party!  We didn't even have to get dressed or do our hair.  I hope we have a party like this every year because I am always looking for excuses to not do my hair and wear my jammies all day.

    

My girls thought wearing jammies to church was a great idea but our cousin Savannah was a little disturbed by the idea.  She kept saying, "My church, dresses." 

Looking good!

How many couples do you know that have a photo of their first date?  And of those couples, how many of them are soooooo good looking?
