Christmas in midst of wedding

We are just over one week away from the wedding! Wonderful family and friends gave Laura a beautiful kitchen shower a week before Christmas. And the house has been full with our daughters all home.

Despite the busyness with last minute wedding details, we managed to squeeze in a few Christmas traditions, including our annual visit to Old Colorado City for pics. with Santa and hot chocolate from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Then we subjected our almost official son-in-law to home movies, those years when our 4 daughters were toddlers and grade school.

And this mother of the bride was surprised by some special Christmas gifts by my amazing family... a favorite is the beautiful little Canon powershot. And one of the first pictures... our Christmas dinner! And I am savoring it all...mother of the bride is a bittersweet title.
