Wedding Bliss

This past weekend Eric got an early Christmas present in the form of a new brother-in-law, aka another person to break up the estrogen at family reunions. We went to California and saw my sister Patricia (Tricia, Trish, Mrs. Pineda--how weird does that sound!) get married to Danny Pineda. They were married in the Los Angeles LDS temple and had a reception in the beautiful backyard of Ruth Gulden. Thank you California weather for stopping your drizzling action for 24 hours so we could have an outdoor reception!

I must say, it was fabulous being the sister and not the mother of the bride with all the craziness of wedding planning--you did great mom. I know my time will come for that with 3 beautiful girls. I definitely had some fun sister time.

And of course decorating the car (I mean I had absolutely nothing to do with that--it was all dad).

Love my sisters and I'm so excited for Tricia's new adventure into married life!

Maybe the Carlsen Christmas card?This wedding brought back memories of our special day. I can't believe it's been 10 years for Eric and me and we still like each other :)

Where's the Fire?

Friday we went to the Denver Firefighter Museum and learned how to stop, drop, and roll! The girls looked really cute dressed up as firefighters!
