Carol Of Lights 2014

I was so excited to go to Carol Of Lights this year!  Since I have moved back to Lubbock, I haven't been able to go but this year, I did.  I haven't been to one of these since I was in college!  It's a perfect way to start of the Christmas Holiday!!!!!  Great fun with great company!













We're ENGAGED!!!!!

So, if you aren't on my facebook page then you don't know that Darin and I recently got engaged!  We're so super excited!  He is the most amazing person I know and I cannot wait to call him my husband.  Here are some pictures from our Winter Engagement Portrait session we had in Colorado!  I wanted some with snow and we all know, I won't get those in Lubbock!







A Princess Turned 5

While we were in Colorado, we were able to celebrate Little Rachel's FIFTH BIRTHDAY!  The theme was little black dress and pearls, HOWEVER........ Little Rachel decided she wanted to wear her PINK easter dress.  Birthday girl gets what birthday girl wants!  Absolutely love that girl!

























Thanksgiving In Colorado

So this year, Darin and I drove my mother to Colorado to see my Tia Ofelia.  We haven't spent a big holiday with her in YEARS, since I was a little girl.  So, this trip was super special to us!  Not to mention, it was mine and Darin's first BIG HOLIDAY spent together!

It was nice to finally spend a holiday with sweet little Rachel.


It was also neat to see the Christmas trees in my cousins, Raul and Rachel's honor.  We have seen pictures of them on facebook every year but seeing them in person was different.  I miss them both so much and it is always harder around the holidays.






I spent the majority of my time with Little Rachel!  I couldn't help it, she is sooooo easy to fall in love with.  The first night I was there, we spent the majority of our evening putting on our jamboree nails.  It was fun!


And of course, Thanksgiving Day was a BLAST! Time with family is always a good time!
