Sweet rolls, anyone?

Every year on Christmas eve, the Merrill's make "candy cane sweet rolls" for all of their neighbors... and I mean ALL of them. They made 121 sweet rolls this year; but the best part is delivering them. We pile in the yukon while Gary drives around with the doors open so everyone can grab a sweet roll and jump out to run it to people's doors. It was FREEZING, but so much fun! What an awesome tradition...
This is from Gary's cell phone in the yukon

Yummy sweet rolls!!!

Mandy and Tim:)

Court, me, and Mandand the whole crew! Thanks for the fun Christmas!

Thanksgiving at Grandma's

Thanks to Shannon we all have a picture of thanksgiving, but there's only one problem... she's not in it! You need to go over and get the one my mom took with her timer! Some of us had already left, but it was a great night. I'm so thankful for my amazing family, I don't know what I would do without them. I especially want to tell Brad what an amazing person he is. He spoils me rotten and half of the time I don't deserve it. I truly couldn't ask for more and I'm so blessed to have such a great husband. I love you!!!

Airport neighborhood

This is a neighborhood right by Brad's grandparents house in Sacramento... They all have airplanes and garages to keep them in. The streets are wide enough for a plane to come down both sides, and they street signs are small for the planes. It was so cool! notice the house in the background with the hanger next to it... they ALL have those. Airplane mailbox!

Happy Thanksgiving from Cali!

This was the cutest little trolley parked on the street in front of pier 39... don't be suprised if you get a Christmas card with this on it=) Alkatraz!!!Family Picture!

The view from pier 39
San Fransisco has the coolest bridges! I felt like I was in Full House when I saw the Golden Gate bridge...
We found this awesome hat store on Pier 39... So funny! Fountains at the mall

October 18, 2008!

I can't believe it's already been a year! It has truly been so amazing! I have the greatest husband in the world. He's patient, loving, strong... just to mention a few of his qualities.

Our anniversary was AWESOME! We went to California with our close friends, Justin and Ashlee. The resort we stayed in was HUGE and absolutely beautiful!! We had a BBQ and went swimming! I'll have to get the pictures at the pool and post them later. There were 3 pools and one even had a water slide. It was a blast! Except Brad and Justin got in trouble for doing 360's down the slide... they were like a couple of 2nd graders. It was so much fun to watch! The view from our back patio... My dad would have been in heaven! but don't worry, it was closed=(

Six Flags had the CRAZIEST roller coasters EVER! The Superman ride was SO fun, it shoots you 100 miles an hour out, and then straight up! We loved that ride=)
x-2... this was the boys favorite roller coaster!

This was the highest one in the park... they tip you so you're facing the ground. It's pretty freaky! Pretty sure I almost threw up after this one=)



In line for the orange roller coaster... aka the"TASTU!!!"
This is me and Ash standing in front of the A in GOLIATH. It was the BEST roller coaster! It's a 255 foot drop into a 120 foot UNDERGROUND tunnel. It's so fast, our eyes were watering by the end... by far the best rollercoaster of the trip!



We went to Disney Land on our anniversary and it truly is the happiest place on earth! I felt like I was 4 again... I loved every second of it!





EVERYTHING was a halloween theme... the A's in California were even candy corn's! It was so much fun! They are SO creative, I can't imagine how much work that would take
SCREAMIN' California!





Even California Adventure park was decorated
All the Disney characters as pumpkins=)

this was inside a scary cave! (or maybe it was in line for splash mountain...)

Thank you for the most amazing year of my life! It was very well celebrated=) We're so lucky to have each other and such great friends like Justin and Ashlee. The four of us had so much fun together. Thanks guys, we love you!
