Images of Meagan's Wedding

The ceremony of Matt and Meagan's wedding was held in the living room of James and Cambers home. It was very touching and personal and a history of their acquaintance and romance preceded the vows. The courtyard was used for the eating, cake cutting and the innovative delight for all, "the candy bar". After delicious snacks of all kinds, there was dancing to a terrific band by the pool. It was a fun, festive wedding that went from 3:30 till 9 pm. Meagan's mother Jennifer had made beautiful place settings and lovely shawls were given to all the women. Terrific toasts were given and the traditional first dance and throwing of the bouquet. As a sidelight, Lea, 8 year old daughter of James, caught the bouquet, just as she did at her aunt Kelsi's wedding...

Christmas 2007 at New Home

Christmas Eve...

Christmas Eve was at my son's new home in Rancho Santa Fe and both he and his wife had most of their extended families there, this was a first. There were also the missionaries and a guest from Provo so quite a large group. We played the traditional White Elephant game after a delicious ham and turkey dinner. There was plenty of room for all of us to sit down as evidenced by these pictures!! This is just one half of the living room...
