A First

 I have always looked forward to the day when I had a family so that I could mail Christmas cards.

So, this was the first year I got to do just that.

I thought for a long time about having pictures taken, who I wanted to design our card, what I wanted them to look like, what I wanted them to say. I tried to remember all the cute cards I got last year but nothing was coming to mind. 

So...I decided to go out on a limb and design my own.

I'm still trying to get familiar with Photoshop CS5 but here is the finished product:

I'm sure they would have looked better from a professional but I love them!!

I had my sister snap a few pictures while we were in Rock Springs for Thanksgiving (which I will talk about in a minute) and they turned out pretty cute.

Thanks Lauren!!

I also snapped a few pictures of Kyson and I happened to get some SUPER cute shots!!!

(Man, I wish I went into photography. I could take pictures ALL day!)

Ok back to Thanksgiving...

This has always been a HUGE holiday for the Broughs. It started out having dinner at a family member's house, then as we grew we have had to rent places to fit everyone.

But...the past few years have been different.

With my Dad and Grandma Brough being gone and my LeMoine Grandparents not in good health, it just hasn't been the same and it makes me SO sad!!

I want so bad to keep the tradition going and hopefully we'll be able to do that next year.

So...this year, we had dinner with just our immediate family and my LeMoine Grandparents.

Although it wasn't the Big Brough Get Together, it was still fun. The food was so yummy and we had such a great time just relaxing and visiting. It seems like every time we are in Rock Springs, we are always in such a hurry. It was nice to finally be able to just sit back and relax and spend time with my grandparents.

I sure do Love these two Grandparents of mine!!
