pieces of christmas...

being with family this year for the holidays was a delight! we traveled into the chicago-land area two different weekends to visit my family and christmas day we spent with mike's fam. certainly one of the highlights was witnessing my cousin becky's proposal. she was so surprised (and i'm so glad i had my camera!)

my sister kate with her "peace" print
my grandma schleyer...with the help of my dad i gave her a really fun gift of some framed photos of trip out west she took as a young woman. she was quite the bold adventurer!

our neice, brei...she's getting so big!
