Christmas in California

After getting off of the Cruise ship, we drove about an hour to where all of my family was staying for Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas day and enjoyed spending it with family. We also enjoyed talking to our Dietz family on the phone.



The day after Christmas, we all took a walk to Trussels beach. Ammon took some fun pictures of the family.


These pictures came from the whole time we spent with the family.


Ammon and I went to Laguna beach together on Monday, December 27. Ammon took some beautiful pictures there! We understand why Laguna Beach is everyone's favorite!


On Tuesday morning, my parents and Kimberly left to drive back home. Ryan, Elise, Ammon and I spent the day hanging out together. It was a lot of fun! First we went to the SanCapistrano Mission, out to lunch and to an Antiques shop.


That night we went to the San Clemente Pier for more sunset pictures.

Christmas Cruise/Honeymoon

Ammon and I were very blessed this Christmas season. It all started on our belated Honeymoon cruise. We went on a Mexican Rivera cruise out of Los Angeles, California. It was a week long cruise that had us leaving the afternoon of Saturday, December 18th and arriving back in LA on Saturday, December 25th. It worked out perfectly for us, because Elise is pregnant with twins and couldn't travel for Christmas, so my whole family traveled to California for Christmas. When we got off the cruise Christmas morning, we drove an hour to where all of my family was. We have many pictures from our vacations this Christmas season. We hope you enjoy them all!



Our first port of call was on Monday, December 20th in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.


Our second port of call, on Tuesday, December 21st, was in Mazatlan, Mexico.


Our third, and last, port of call was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.


While in Puerto Vallarta, I had the AMAZING opportunity to go parasailing!


The last night of our cruise happened to also be our three month anniversary, so we decided to get dressed up for dinner and take some nicer pictures that night.

The Lights at Temple Square

To celebrate this Christmas season we went to Temple Square with our good friends the Clouses (not the Clauses). We started out the evening with a pot luck dinner at our house, then drove up to Salt Lake City. It was a chilly evening, but we stayed warm walking!
