Christmas Slide Show

Christmas in California

Marcus and I went to Modesto for one week and then we went to Sacramento for another week. We were really glad that we got to see both of our families... it is very convenient having our parents an hour and a 1/2 away from each other. We love it! We were able to get together with Marcus' dads' sister and all of her kids for Christmas Eve. We had a nativity scene and a gift exchange, and of course lots of family pictures. We had so much fun there. Christmas Eve we drove to Sacramento. We had fun opening presents and spending time with family the rest of the day. On New Years Eve Marcus and I went to my friend Stephanie's house and spent the evening with her and her husband. The trip was fun and we liked being away from cold Idaho... but, now we're back and working on another semester of classes. Actually, it's my last semester of classes, then I student teach in the fall and also graduate in the fall! Marcus will just have one more year after me. We are really enjoying life and being married!

Thanksgiving





























Marcus and I went to our Uncle Evan's house for Thanksgiving this year, since it was only an hour or so away. Allie Harrison also came and so did Chris, Marcus' brother. We had lots of fun with the Harrison clan... eating a delicious meal, playing pool, going to the movies... we had a really good time! Although, we found out that back home dad and Jacob did not have it so good... they had run into each other playing hide-and-seek in the dark of the house. Dad ended up with a bloody nose and a black eye - Jacob was actually just fine (Jacob is shorter than dad --> head in face). I also did not come out of Thanksgiving break scarless... I burned my hand on a curling iron, yes, I know all of us girls have done it in one way or another. Other than those mishaps, the break from school was a blast! We hope everyone else had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

21st Birthday!







My birthday was in November and Marcus and I had a fun time! He got me a few presents and made me a steak dinner! It was definitely a surprise :)
