Christmas Vacation!

Well This is going to be a pretty long post so put on some comfy cloths and get your diet Coke(mom), but I have a ton of pictures and a ton went on in December and I don't want to miss any of it. To start off we got to meet the new addition to the family, Frank! He is the cutest puppy ever and Lily became quite fond of him. She even let him sleep with her, sometimes. Here are some pictures of our Annual Traveling Dinner! Always such good food and fun, fun, fun!

We end with making Gingerbread houses! Lily was in seventh Heaven!
Traveling in the car is half the fun!
Lily was so proud of her house! And it looks like Steven is proud of his bum!

Then while we were home, Steven and Ashley got married. It was so much fun! The wedding dinner that my mom and dad put on was absolutely beautiful and I feel bad cause I didn't get that many pictures. Probably because I was too busy eating the food.
Steve and Ashley got married in the Oqquirh Mountain Temple. It was such a Beautiful day but it was freezing!Lily and Adam had a good time walking around outside the Temple. I think they were cuddling to stay warm.All of us dressed up on our way to the reception. We went to the wrong church and almost walked into a ward dinner. It was funny!

Here are some of the pictures of the Reception!Lily Loved her new dress, she just kept spinning while Grandpa danced with Emma.
Lily Dancing with her Daddy!One night while we were there Mom and Dad took us all to Pizzaria(YUM,YUM!) and then to the Christmas lights downtown.


It was super duper cold and I think mine and Mom's eyes took a while to defrost, cause the next picture was supposed to be a normal one but yet we still look frozen!Then when we got home, we had a special visitor, yep Santa!!! I know him!

Lily, Adam, and Emma, loved him! Emma didn't even cry!!!Then we had the annual Stringham Family party where everyone gets together. It was really fun!
It was even more fun when we got to make Dad into a Christmas Tree! Doesn't he look stunning!This is Lily pretending to be Santa on Christmas Eve! It was Hilarious! The next ones are pictures of Christmas Morning!
Lily was most excited about her Bubble bath and her lip sticks!
Opening presents Christmas morning.
Pat's Birthday Party at one of our Favorite Places! The GRILL! YUMM! (Yes I miss all the fun places to eat there in Utah!)
Lily and I on our way home to Louisville, she started taking her long winters nap on the plane! We had a wonderful Christmas as you can tell! We love everyone and thank you wonderful family for making us feel so welcome! We love you all and wish a Happy New Year!

What GREAT memories!!!!! Luv your family to death. This Holiday will be on that we will treasure ALWAYS. Thanks for making ours so special, and for putting up with baby Frank. Hope that Lil has healed from all the scratches and bites. She was a great sport. Thanks for stepping in and being the official pictures taker.
