Christmas Friends

Wasn't this such a fun day?  We always think we're just going to be together for an hour or so... and then 4 hours later, we're still all together, the husbands joining in to finish up lunch, and can't stop chatting!  I loved just sitting around the table, talking, catching up, and laughing!  I will always remember Danielle announcing the big news, she was gitty... I was SO surprised.  What a fun day!  We always seem to pick up right where we left off.  But I wish our breaks weren't so far and few between.  Such a fun day!

What a fun Winter Festival it was this year!  I wish I had my camera handy to get a picture of Dumbledorf (hope that's how you spell it.  I am not up with my Harry Potter) and the awesome fire!  I think this may have been my favorite so far.  Although, how do you compare... they're all so fun and different.  They're all ingrained in my memory.  Thanks Stu! :)  But it was so fun to just talk around the table all night!  Thanks Miss, for hosting us twice... at your house and at Winter Fest!
 

a San Francisco treat...

Hello my lady friends.  

This is upon request that I post pictures of our apartment.  Now... keep in mind I took these pics a few months ago so we weren't totally moved in.  I would take updated pictures today but we just had friends in town who left this morning so everything is a mess.  But you'll get the gist of it anyway.

You walk in to this hallway

It opens up to this little entry

This is our bedroom- I love the cute apartments out the window!

Tiny little bathroom

Front room... we have added another couch but you'll just have to come visit to see it :)

The brightest of yellow kitchens you ever did see

Here's at a different time of day just so you understand the kind of intense yellow we're dealing with

And here's the room that you'll all be staying in when you come to visit!  Slash the nursery once the baby comes :)  

Don't pay too much attention to the lights... it used to be 2 closets so Marsh and I worked hard to make those hanging light bulbs look decent!  

Here's to cute friends!

So the cat's out of the bag and all the family knows about baby Curtis!!  They were so cute, very surprised.  Sometimes I let myself wander off and daydream about when I told you all.  It brings tears to my eyes to think about my amazing friends who are so supportive and loving and make me so happy.  Thanks guys.  Rach I was just looking at your blog and those adorable pictures of Lauren!!  Precious.  Laur I saw yours too and Ethan in a stocking :)  Cracked me up.  Miss post pictures of the festival!  I'm still so sad we missed out.  Les how are you feeling girl??  I'm so excited about that boy.  Whit are you back in Vegas or still enjoying the break?  And Al I haven't talked to you!  How are you feeling sister?  I missed seeing you in sl.  

I wish I could've spent more time with ALL of you in Salt Lake and celebrated the new year!  Hope you all had a good one.  Here's to 2011!!!!
