The where's and What's of Us

We have had a great time the last two months. In November we were able to make a surprise trip home for Thanksgiving. Nobody knew we were coming except for my dad who helped us pull the surprise off. So we had a great week home for Thanksgiving and then three weeks later we were back in Utah for our two and a half week Christmas break. I have included a few pictures of each activity so I will tell you what each group of pictures are.


The first two pictures are from the Christmas party with Bryce's family. We have a big dinner, games, and then Santa comes and we get a present from him. It was so fun getting to spend time with all of the Warner side of the family. We also had a Christmas eve party with my family in the morning and with the Searle's that evening so we had our share of getting in the Christmas spirit and soaking in all the family time.


The next three pictures are while we were at the cabin after Christmas. The cabin is such a fun tradition for the day after Christmas. There was a lot of fresh powder, it was so beautiful. We had fun snomobiling, playing games, snowshoeing, shooting (with our new Christmas presents), and doing what we miss most while being in Philly, spending time with family.


The two pictures after that are of when we went pheasant hunting. Derek and Becca had Bryce and I for Christmas so part of our present was taking us hunting. It was a great day. We used Derek's pup as our hunting dog and had a successful hunt. It was Bryce's first time pheasant hunting and it was so fun for me to be doing something I enjoy with my family and having my husband there with me. I look forward to living in Utah and doing even more of those kinds of things with him.

The last group of five pictures are from our Thanksgiving trip. One bright and early morning we were able to go duck hunting with my brother Derek. He has a sweet set up with decoys, a boat, and a blind. It was a great adventure of freezing cold temps, breaking through ice, laughing a lot, and enjoying the beautiful view of timp. Utah is so beautiful. I mean look at that picture of timp with the lake in front of it. I was just soaking it in.


While we were there Bryce and I also celebrated our 2 year anniversary while we were home. It has been an amazing two years and it makes me so grateful for eternity. I love Bryce so much and I love being with him. He is my best friend. We had a great time in Utah and really enjoyed the Holidays.
