First off, my lovely little sister, and Maid of Honor, Rebekah, put together an amazing bridal shower with the help of our cousin, Laura. It was a great night of family and friends, I don't think I've ever felt so loved! :) Laura and Bekah became master chefs in the process. They put together quite the spread, with delicious appetizers and several different kinds of amazing soups to eat in bread bowls.

Then at work my awesome coworkers put together a luncheon for me. It was so sweet of them! I'm lucky to get to work with some many awesome people.

| The spread- yum! |
Then it was on to other wedding madness -- trying to get everything done and put together for the big day. I have some super fantastic amazing friends and family who helped SO much in getting things put together. We made all the bouquets and boutonnieres and put them together the week of the wedding. With help from a good friend and her eye for design, they came together better than I could have even hoped! The only pictures I have at the moment aren't the best, and they really don't do the flowers justice...but they give you the general idea.

There is much more wedding-ness... But first! Right in the middle of all this... Christmas happened! We took a break from all things wedding and had an awesome Christmas this year. We were able to have our own family Christmas at home, and then split the day between Kaj's Dad's house and my parents house.

We spent half the day at Kaj's Dad's house hanging out with them and their families... his step-mom put together a delicious meal and we had fun hanging out and opening presents. ...Yet somehow I managed to not take a single picture!! Our photographer is FIRED! *cough*
