Vanessa came home the week before Christmas and spent it with us while Ben was finishing up at work. Then she flew back and they went to Palm Desert for Christmas to spend with Ben's family. Ryan and Stephanie came home the day Vanessa left.

A Christmas Story...
We spent Christmas Eve Day with the Daly's. Of course, Caran fed us great food all day and there was plenty of sleeping, watching TV, games and piano playing to help us enjoy the holiday spirit!
"Ho Ho Ho...you'll shoot your eye out!"
Cameron got a new Bow & Arrow set - here he is demonstrating his skills!
On Christmas Day John took Ryan shooting with the Bergquist Boys...

Briana's first formal dance!
Briana went to her first high school formal dance tonight. It was a Masquerade Ball and she was the prettiest belle there! Here she is with her date Hank Garrison - he is a senior.
Briana went with this group all day to Boise and played before they all got dressed up as you see them now

Thanksgiving 2006
We just returned home from a wonderful Thanksgiving shared with family and friends. We were missing Ben and Vanessa who were on a cruise to Mexico with Ben's family. Stephanie & Ryan entertained us and of course our annual Thanksgiving dinner with our friends the Hovorka's was fabulous! Here are a few photos from our adventures.
On Friday we shopped, ate, went to movies and I took the Hovorka's Christmas Card photo up in the canyon.
On Saturday we enjoyed the unforgettable BYU vs. UTAH game with the Hovorka's at the Pizza Factory. "Way to go John Beck & Jonny Harline!"
On Saturday, we ended our family get-together with an evening at Temple Square where we ate on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building at "The Roof" where our view was amazing! Then we went and saw the Joseph Smith Movie and lastly enjoyed the beautiful Christmas lights on Temple Square. What a great holiday vacation - the only thing missing was having Ben and Vanessa with us!

Honeymoon Happiness
Steph & Ryan wanted to share some honeymoon photos from Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast - They had a wonderful time.
Wedding #2
I heard once that if you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments. Although stressful at times, these past few months have been absolutely joyous occassions. Important everlasting tender mercies from the Lord that have brought me immense happiness. Each new life experience teaches me something new and helps me grow in some new way. I'm so grateful for my loving husband who has walked with me hand in hand through this amazing journey. There were many times he could've thrown in the towel but instead showed forth patience and long suffering in helping me achieve the duties of "Mother of the Brides". I am also thankful for Briana who has somewhat put her teenage life on hold as her parents have been crazy busy with two weddings! The good thing for you Briana....is that when it's your turn...you get ALL OF THE ATTENTION!! hehehe... And lastly - Thanks to my family and friends for your undying love and support. I truly love you all!
Congratulations to Vanessa & Benjamin and Stephanie & Ryan!! May all of your dreams continue to come true!
