all i want for christmas...

i was reading one of my favorite blogs the other day, my favorite everything, and i came across these beauties. the most beautiful dishes i have ever seen. i am a pretty plain jane type of person when it comes to home decor. i like neutrals and being able to accent with color. i have had the hardest time finding dishes that i REALLY LOVE. well now i've found them. is it too late to write a letter to santa?

from our home to yours

to everyone near and far and those we don't have addresses for, we want to wish you a

HAPPY EVERYTHING!

Happy Holidays!

Another great year coming to a close. 2010 seemed to fly by! Here are a few highlights from our year:

• 1st Anniversary trip to Jackson Hole (married life rocks!)

• Getting a German Shepherd puppy. We call him Jack. We brought him home in February and he has been the perfect addition to our family. He and Marley get along great and love having each other around.

• Taking trips to Las Vegas, Denver, and back home to California. We love to travel and can’t wait to take more trips in the New Year!

• Camping,camping, camping. Oh how we LOVE camping.

• Seeing various concerts (Jack Johnson) and sporting events (baseball, basketball).
  

• Spending time with friends and family whom we love.
  

• Enjoying the seasons and the great outdoors here in Utah. For the foreseeable future, we will call this place HOME.

We have had a wonderful year and look forward to the many other exciting things coming up in the future.

We wish everyone a Merry Holiday Season and hope you all enjoy this time of year to the fullest!
