Pictures Galore

Is there such a thing as too many baby pictures? I think not. Especially if it's your first kid. Here are a bunch of cute pictures...most of which are from Mason's blessing and after-party last Sunday. It was really great having so much family there!

I Graduated!

Yea! I graduated on Friday with a BA in Speech Communication. Here are some pics of my department's ceremony and graduation party!

Christmas Tree Lane

Marcos and I drove down Christmas Tree Lane this year with Thomas and Amy. It is SO fun to drive by lots of houses with TONS of lights and decorations! For those unfamiliar with Fresno's Christmas Tree Lane...

**It consists of 2 miles of 140 homes and 300 trees decorated with lights
**It has been around for 86 years, making it one of the longest-running holiday events nationwide
**It began in 1920 with the decoration of a single tree in memory of a child who died
**More than 100,000 people visit Christmas Tree Lane each year

Clovis Christmas Parade 2008

On Saturday we went to the Christmas parade in Old Town Clovis. I really enjoy this every year. We get all bundled up, sit in the freezing cold, have yummy hot chocolate and popcorn, and watch cars and trolleys of every kind decked out in lights pass by. There are a bunch of cool Corvettes, rock crawlers, and off-road vehicles that are favorites.

There aren't a lot of pictures of the parade cars, because it's hard to take pictures that look good in the dark. Also, we left early to play games with some friends. We still had lots of fun with family!

Turkey Bowl 2008

So continues the family tradition of Turkey Bowl on Thanksgiving morning. Jack & Heidi Shiner from our ward also joined the fun with cute little Evelyn. After flag football, we all went over to Suzanne Marshall's for yummy cinnamon rolls and juice. So much fun! Happy Thanksgiving!
