Last Christmas post!

New Years Eve started off by opening Brody and Sara's wedding presents before they left for Disneyland. Declan and Paige were great helpers!!

 Don't worry, he's just having Paige taste a candle.  Oh boy.

Later that day Randi was taking some pictures of Declan and Paige and Declan started making his cheesy grin face every time Randi would say, "1, 2, 3."

 Declan thinks it's fun to pretend that I'm a horse.  It's not so fun for me, but he laughs and laughs and laughs.

  We went to Grandma and Grandpa Oswald's house later that night and Declan decided to pose for Aunt Randi again.  He likes the camera in his face!

On New Year's Day Declan and I took a trip to Rexburg and we were able to see one of my best friend's from high school, Tiffany.  It was great to see her and her kids!  The last time we saw each other her boy Austin was 9 months old and I was pregnant with Declan.  Now Austin is a toddler and she has a baby girl!  Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of Emma because by the time we took pictures she was taking a nap.  We even got to go shop for a little bit and had lunch together without the kids.  It was great!

 We came back to Utah on January 2nd.  Here are some last pictures of Declan and Paige.  I know you all wanted to see more right?!

Finally!  I'm done!

The Wedding!

Sara, Zach's youngest sister, married Brody on December 30, 2010 in the Idaho Falls temple.  They've been dating for a few years so we've been around Brody quite a bit and we're glad he is an official member of the family now!  The day they got married was SO cold!  Zach's poor family has had all winter weddings.  What is wrong with us?!  Luckily, they only made the family stay and take a few pictures and then we got to leave them in the freezing cold to take more pictures! :)

Anyway, the night before the wedding Declan had a sleep over with my parents.  It was so nice to be able to enjoy the day and help and not worry about where Declan was running off to!  Plus, it was great to get a good nights sleep for the first time in a couple months (his molars had been coming in and they were killer!)  Thanks again mom and dad.  We picked him up after the luncheon and headed straight for the reception.

They had an awesome nacho bar for their luncheon and their reception was at the Historic Shelton in Ririe, Idaho.  Declan had a lot of fun at the reception since there were a few staircases to climb, lots of people to entertain him, rooms to explore, and an unlimited supply of cookies!  Sara was a gorgeous bride and they are such a good looking couple.  Now, for a million pictures....

 I made her a bouquet out of silk flowers to use outside the temple.

 Her cake was amazing!

 I love you Hilary! :)

 The day before the wedding was spent making these cookies and almonds.

 I am so sad that I didn't get a picture of Sara on the ground after cutting the cake.  I was laughing too hard I guess.  

We found cookies with one bite out of them all over the reception center.  Same culprit every time.
