Snowmen seem to be all the thing these days, so when I saw this pattern, I desperately wanted to make it for my sweet Jillian–who loves snowmen! It took a bit of tweaking to get everything they way I wanted it–but in the end he’s just what we wanted. Check out his cute little stick arms and mittens! And what can we say about that carrot nose?
The newlyweds are back! After a lovely honeymoon cruise they invited us all–and I do mean all–over for a gift opening party. Wooohooo!
And these two cuties have a ton of wonderful friends, so there were a million gifts.
So many practical things that everyone needs when they are just starting out…
and some very sweet, personal gifts from some a few dear friends.
It was so lovely to hear the notes that friends and family sent in the STACK of cards they received. And they read every one.
When the youngsters were about halfway through all the presents, they took a break and made us Rootbeer and/or Creamsicle floats. I’m not usually a carbonated drink fan, but on a hot summer day–and with the right rootbeer (A&W of course!) I can indeed be persuaded.
Looks like we were just not entertaining enough for Magoo. He loves his Aunt April.
I asked my girl just today, what she thought of this married life stuff.
She said, “Mom, it’s positively perfect.”
Well, I’d say it’s your turn honey.
Funny how marriage just suits some folks–isn’t it?
Yes, yes, I know. I went out of order here. The wedding typically comes AFTER the Bridals. But I actually forgot that I took these sneaky pictures–and it does seem a shame to waste them. Forgive me.
We went out to the shores of Utah Lake and the park nearby.
Even after living here for a million years, I had no idea this place was so pretty.
Or maybe it was just that girl there…
waving at her mama. Yeah, it could be that.
Kinda fun for me–watching the camera people do their thing–while I got to sit in the car…
snapping the occasional covert shot of my own, here and there.
At one point, the camera guy said, ” We should have you walk around or something, because we have a lot of kissing shots.”
HAaaaa! Honestly, what did he expect Beauty and Charming to do a week before their wedding?
