1st Time to Vermont

Last weekend we took a trip with the Branchies to Vermont-- our first time there EVER!  Pres. Young was incredibly gracious to host us in his beautiful Vermont home AND he cooked us all a wonderful lunch AND dinner!  We were so spoiled!  One of the greatest day trips ever!

We had some fun trekking around in the snow on a little hike-- I never thought that I would ever, ever take a hike in the winter in Vermont, but it was a really great time!  We also stopped by a sugaring barn where the owners tap their own maple trees and cook down maple syrup to sell; so Vermonty!  We also ate a ton of cheese and fudge samples at the country store...oops.

Here's some tiny glimpses of our fun, photos by the indefatigable Matthew:

Pardon our funny expressions, we were eating lunch :)

Plus we got to hang with our favorite little buddy.  Does he have the ruddy cheeks and curls of a cherub, or what?!

Huddling for warmth on our snow hike, haha

Photo Shoot

Well, about as close to a photo shoot as normal people probably get :)

Over Christmas, we loaded into cars with the jolly Price family and headed to a park in Long Beach, CA, to take some family photos.  It is not every day that all Price kiddos + parents + spouses are all in the same side of the country, let alone sleeping in the same house, so we wanted to make sure we documented the occasion!

Baby Gwen just stole the show in ALL the photos with everyone!

And here are me and my sweet Jack, xoxo

Don't you love my post-radiation ombre look?  Oy...  And now there is a dark patch on the front left that is developing a wave.  So stylish.  My mom acts like it is from living on the East Coast, but I've been living on the East Coast for like 6 years now, so this one year of dark growth is definitely radiation-fueled.  So interesting!

And aren't we adorable? :)
