David and I were married on December 23, 2010. It was decided on quickly because we received our letters from the First Presidency stating that we could get sealed together just two days earlier on a Tuesday. By Thurdsay night at 6:30 we were at the Bountiful Temple surrounded by our closest friends and family that could come at such short notice. That was an exciting day!
David and I had decided that we didn't want our kids to suffer, or our family to suffer having to watch them during the Christmas holiday. We took only one night for our honeymoon, and then returned to enjoy the holiday with our new family! We were lucky to have all the kids on Christmas morning- and we wanted it that way!
Christmas morning chaos- we loved being together!
Tyler and Davey- new step brothers only 1 1/2 days earlier!

David and Dallin ready to head to my parents house
Here we are heading out to go to my parents house for a family gathering Christmas morning!
After unwrapping our presents we headed north 20 minutes to my parents house. There we had dinner with Great Grandma and Grandpa, Grandma and Grandpa, Randy and Katie and their four kids, Kristi, and my Uncle David.
Grandma can often be found in the kitchen. I wish my hand was more steady that day- unfortunatly it was not because I was so excited to be married!
Mom and Dad are awesome at putting together group dinners!
What a cute couple! Randy and Katie enjoying a few minutes of quiet while the kids are playing in the basement.
Uncle David graced us with his lovely presence. He had traveled from Oregon to be with my grandparents in their new home.
David and I were so happy to be married and enjoying our "new" family. We loved having Christmas together and getting to share it with those we loved.
