There is LOVE in the air

My little brother Crismon was married in the Las Vegas Temple to Danielle Swain on December 16th.  It was a beautiful event and so wonderful to be in the temple with all my siblings minus my two younger sisters who were outside babysitting the kids.  Many family members from my Lewis and Smith side were there too.  It was great seeing them since some of them I hadn't seen in years. Danielle is a sweet girl and very talented on the violin. I am happy she is part of the family now.

I flew to Vegas a few days early with my parents to visit with my Grandma Lewis in Kingman Arizona.  She is my only living grandparent left.  Oh how I miss my other grandparents.  I have a special connection with each of my grandparents and I want my children to have that same special connection with each of their grandparents.  Luckily and thankfully they live very close to each set  of grandparents. I enjoyed visiting with my grandma, Aunt Delon and Uncle Clyde and their girls.  They have a beautiful home! They even have a home school room which is a dream for my home someday. 

The wedding luncheon/recption was BEAUTIFULLY decorated and the food was DELICIOUS!  At the reception they had waiters that brought the yummiest o'dours. There was a hot chocolate bar, veggie and fruit platters and a table of just candy that was color coordinated with the wedding colors.  Can you tell that I ate all night? I couldn't help myself, the food tasted so good. 

I enjoyed visiting and hanging out with my siblings during the short few days we were together. Our hotel rooms were next to each other so we had some late night visits which I love.  I rode with Gary and Alice-Anne to and from the wedding events. Their kids are so cute and I loved listening to their stories they told.  I especially loved going out to Cafe Rio (my favorite Mexican restaurant) before we flew home later that day. It was so nice to fly with family.  They helped me with Kaeley a lot during the flight.  Speaking of  Kaeley, she was THE BEST traveler ever!  Hardly ever cried and just went with the flow of things.  I love showing her off to all my extended families and she loved smiling at everyone.
