Christmas in Cali

We spent Christmas in California this year with Jake's mom and her husband, Jim. I was a blast!

Ness and I walking across the Golden Gate BridgeSuber and Ness lighting the menorah... I thought this picture was soo funny... I tried to be in it but I got cut out :( Ness and I walked out in the exact same outfit... Same flats and everything!

Jake won poker... He is pretty good. I may send him to Wendover to win some money for the family. Jim cutting up the roast beast!

Cute little Nessa...

Jake and Suber

The pretty Christmas Tree...

Best part of San Fran? The trolley ride! I loved it.

We went to St. George the weekend before Christmas and spent some time with my family! It was awesome to see them since this is the first Christmas away from them.I love having two families that I love! Christmas was wonderful this year :)

What my week has looked like...

We got tickets to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas Special...It was perfect.

Jake and I, Gram, Connor (cousin) and his lovely girlfriend Brittany.

We had our annual Rothfels Christmas party! It was a good one this year.

We had a very special guest... Baby Vivian! She's adorable.

We played a few different games...

And last but certainly not least... My work Christmas party!

I am very lucky that I absolutely love my job..

And I especially love these girls...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Home for the holidays...

My beautiful friend, Sister (Keesha) Glauser is returning home this weekend! Eeee!! So excited about this. I tried to talk her out of going on a mission many times... {jk... kinda} I'm so proud of her and I can't wait to see her! So excited that she'll be home to spend Christmas with her family.

Keesha and I became friends a year or two after highschool... and always remained close. She is such a great friend and has always been someone I look up to. I love her and can't wait to have her back!!

Domestic Day

I have spent the entire day making these...

Only about 100 of them...

My friend Julie inspired me... (thanks Julie)

They are all packaged and ready to go to friends and neighbors... And there are still about 40 more in the refridgerator. And now I am feeling like this...

Sorry for the crappy picture quality... These were taken on my phone.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

I was so happy to wake up to snow falling this morning... So Jake and I decided it was the perfect day to put up our quaint little tree...

Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving...

All the kids dressed up as indians...

Rosemarie (aunt), Suber (mother in law) and baby Grace.

This is pretty much what I did the entire day... waxing nostrils. And this here is my brave client, uncle Jimmy... You don't mind I put this up, right?

Jacob...

Does anyone else see the resemblace?

I did right off the bat.... And a few other friends and family members have told us that Jacob reminds them of my Jacob... You may have to know Jake to really see it. What do you think?
