We enjoyed spending Christmas with both our parents and Jen's Brothers at Jen's parents new log home in the foothills of Northern California. Scott's parents remained in California for a week after the wedding and they were able to enjoy a warm California Christmas. We had a great time sitting on the deck by the fireplace, playing Texas Hold'em, playing with the Llammas, riding dirt bikes, and starting a Bon Fire in the rain. Scott got Bill and Adam to help him carve "Doberneck" into one of the falled trees along Jen's parent's driveway. We also enjoyed Tri-Tip for Christmas and Jen's dad's famous margaritas. Scott's dad was excited to wear shorts one of the days he was there. We were sad to see Scott's parents head back to Michigan Christmas morning. It was a very special first Christmas together!

We spent our honeymoon at a really beautiful home in Sqaw Valley California (about 10 minutes from Lake Tahoe). We were able to relax after months of planning the wedding and just enjoy the beauty of the mountains. It rained most of the time we were there, but we were able to take advantage of one sunny day to ride on the Tahoe Queen across the lake to see Emerald Bay. It was really a wonderful honeymoon!

We were married on December 17th in Napa Valley, California. IT was an amazing and beautiful wedding. We were surrounded by many family and friends who traveled from all over including Michigan, Colorado, and Virginia. Thank you to all of you who were such a special part of our wedding. It is truly a day we will remember for a lifetime!
