Yosemite
The Saturday after Christmas our family decided to take a trip to Yosemite for the day. The valley was covered in snow and was so beautiful. it was a warm 29 degrees in the shade and a bit warmer in the sun. we had a delicious lunch at the ahwahnee hotel and spend the rest of the day taking lots of pictures and playing in the snow.
First Annual Christmas Cookie Decorating
This year my mom decided to start a new tradition of decorating christmas cookies. She figured it would be a fun thing to do before christmas and as our family grows and denise and aaron start families some day it would be a fun activity for the kids. Denise hand decorated stocking cookies for each person that would be over for christmas eve dinner she even used tweezers to apply some of the sprinkles! Abi even helped by holding the sprinkles for my mom. here are a few pictures of the afternoon.

Abi and Ethan
On Sunday during a Sunday school leaders meeting Abi and Ethan were laying side by side on the couch and periodically they would reach over and hold each other's hand. They did this quite a few times but i thought it may be rude to pull out my camera in the middle of our meeting to capture the super cute moment. So after the meeting Jolie and I reenacted the hand holding and the kids went along with it. . . .

Christmas Tree Lane
Last Tuesday Josh, Abi and I walked down Christmas Tree Lane with Jon, Jolie and Ethan. It was a nice night and wasn't as cold as we expected but very wet from the drizzly fog. I think the highlight of the night may have been the guys spotting a car in the parking lot at Fig Garden Village, it was a De Lorean (the car from Back to the Future). The guys had to stop and take a few pictures as seen above.

Thanksgiving at Shaver Lake
This year my parents decided to rent a huge, beautiful cabin at Shaver Lake. Now when most people hear "cabin" you may assume a rustic log cabin with the only source of heat being a wood stove, this was not the case where we stayed. This cabin was 3 stories, 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms a beautiful kitchen and many other amenities. So here are a few pictures of us "roughing it" in the mountains.
