Christmastime is here!

Lizzy asked for it!
Here are some pictures of our pad

A nativity I bought in Venezuela

Most of our decorations were wedding gifts.
Most of our decorations are snowmen.

This is my favorite nativity.
So simple.

This year I decided to decorate our place like a
college dorm! I figure we're only
going to enjoy the decorations for 2 weeks
so I better pull out all the stops.

oh tanenbaum!

One of my favorite things in my house.
I love my family.

Tis the season, y'all.

Au's Bed and Breakfast

Anna and Brigham have church at 8:30,
so we did not expect to eat before we left.
But who did we hear up at 7 am,
rattling around in the kitchen
BRIGHAM!!!
We had the most delicious breakfast:
Texas toast (of course), hash browns, bacon (spam for Brig)
and orange juice.
We love them - like family.

Our (Jon's and my) first hockey game!
Anna has the sweetest hookups at her
job so she scored these tickets.
I love the lady behind us trying to get in the shot.

Que rico . . .

Eli's cousin (far right) lives in Dallas
and invited us for an 'asado'
-Argentine bbq-
It was the best asado we've had this
side of the panama canal.

It was so delicious!

Eli and Mike and their mate:)
They are engaged to be married
in May at the DC Temple.

It was the first time in 8 years that
Jon and Eli saw each other. It was
a sweet reunion.
We skyped her family in Argentina...
amazing!

I told Shannon she should be proud
of herself. She fed Brigham
and still had leftovers:)

Love these two

Wrapping up November

The third weekend in November
we went to Asheville, NC
(a sweet little artsy, hippie town in the Smokies)
to go to a concert with Sara.

George Winston (classical pianist) was great
but the highlight of the night was
catching up at the 'chocolate lounge' after the show.
