Christmas Fun!

WARNING: LOTS AND LOTS OF PHOTOS :)

Jared and I had the wonderful opportunity to fly up to Philadelphia for Thanksgiving and visit Jared's Grandparents. We also gave them Texas mugs for Christmas . . . they were fairly large :D

AND because we were in Philly, we naturally had to try our first ever Philly Cheesesteak

We also got to see a man in their neighborhood carving the most beautiful thing in the snow :)

He was very talented.

Austin, Texas I don't think would ever get enough snow for something like that sculpture . . .

This is about what our snowmen/sculptures look like . . .

When we got back from our trip to Philly we had great time attending the Austin annual Trail of Lights 5k Fun Run :)  Here's some photos from that.

The Storm . . .

before the Rainbow :)

The beautiful Austin skyline with the Trail of Lights in front :)

The next weekend or so we packed up and took off to a number of places.

We started our Christmas adventures in Seattle, Washington

Which consisted of a TRON plane haha, 

it was pretty cool that we got to ride on one of the newer planes

We got to celebrate this cutie turning ONE (our niece Bella) :)

Then on Christmas, we gave these three hooligans some fun glasses

and Bella . . . well she didn't really want to wear them :P

Her dad sure tried to get them on though . . .

We were also able to get a family photo in :)

But I needed to do some test shots (make sure lighting was good and all that) 

SO, Jared helped me out :) love this guy

THEN our adventures took us to Jared's parents in Boise, Idaho

Jared messing with Sage on the left & River blowing spit bubbles on the right :)

Haha we love these two nieces of ours.

Again, we had another wonderful chance to take a family photo :)

And . . . I needed another focus point "tester" - perks of being married to the photographer :)

LOVE HIM :)

It was a wonderful Christmas adventure and 

we can't wait to see what this year has in store for the two of us :)

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday, we sure did.
