Merry Christmas from the Manutai's

Let's play catch up...

Way back when...in October...the girls and I took a two week vacation up in Utah. We had a FABULOUS time staying with all of our family. We spent lots of quality time at Mom and Dad's, Grandma and Grandpa's, and we even got to spend a night with Ben and BreeAnne. We did TONS of activities such as....the Pumpkin Patch, shopping(Quilted Bear, Tai Pan, Hobby Lobby, and almost every mall imaginable), Gardner Village, Bingham football games, Ward Chili cook-offs, and LOTS more shopping. We also were able to attend Chanel's baby blessing. I didn't do too well at taking pictures, but here's a taste of what we did...

Tisa, me, and Jamie. My J.V and Varsity Cheer coaches from high school. LOVE THEM!!!

Mom, Michelle, Tisa, Jamie and Lexi's cheer coach.

Whit and Mom at the Homecoming game.

Kenadee really got into the spirit of things. She was in HEAVEN watching all the cheerleaders!

My little cheeseball!

Karlee Sue and Grandma.

Little Lou and Karlee Sue.

Kalli LOVED going to the games to watch Lexi cheer!!!

What a view!!! I miss those mountains...but NOT the snow!!!

What a cute cheerleader!!!

Grandpa and Grandma. Two VERY special people.

Grandma played on the swings with the girls ALL DAY LONG, EVERY DAY!!! What more could I ask for??

These two definitely shared a special bond this trip.

First time the girls watched The Wizard of Oz. One of Grandpa's favorites!!
Don't let this sweet face fool you. This little stink won Old Maid just about every time we played her. Too bad you can't hear the loud bursts of laughter that came out of her EVERYtime someone picked the Old Maid from her. PRICELESS!!!

Kalli was a good sport and content with watching Kiki slaughter Grandma in Old Maid.

Palm Springs Street Fair

I just finished doing the Street Fair out in Palm Springs and had a FANTASTIC time!!! My Aunt Lisa helped get me all prepared and boy am I thankful. I couldn't have done it without her! Also, thanks to my Hunny Bunny for supporting me in what I love to do. I could NEVER do any of this without the support and encouragement from my husband. I love you Daddy!!!!

FYI: If you'd like to purchase anything shown here, please contact me at klor555@yahoo.com or leave a comment on the blog. My favorite product has definitely been my boutique flower beanies. I sell them for $10 at the street fair, but I'm running a Christmas discount for only $8 for the hats. The flowers range from $3 to $7 depending on size and style. Contact me asap to be able to receive your shipments before Christmas. Hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Wedding Dresses!!!

I've been trying to get these pictures enlarge for the past HOUR and haven't found a way to do it, so this is as good as it's going to get for now. Whitnee has 4 AMAZING dresses that the viewers get to vote on for her. My absolute favorite is called Ambrosia...WOW!!! Now that's a gorgeous wedding dress!!! A little fyi...if you're wondering why all these dresses are strapless it's because Maggie specializes in turning strapless gowns into temple worthy wedding dresses. So try, if possible, to imagine all these beautiful gowns with sleeves/jackets or whatnot! I want to get married all over again! To watch Whitnee visiting the Maggie Sottero headquarters and modeling these dresses down a sleek runway, visit http://www.ultimateutahwedding.blogspot.com/ and click on the Maggie Soterro (Wedding Dresses) video. Also, if you want to see what I'll be all dolled up in for the wedding, click on The Perfect Dress (Bridesmaids Dresses). Actually, it would be an hour WELL spent if you watch ALL the videos on there. SO MUCH FUN!!!

Photography and Wedding Announcements

A couple weeks ago on Good Things Utah, Nick and Whitnee got to unveil some of their GORGEOUS pictures taken by Brody Dezember Photography and ZUMA Photography. The viewers got to vote on the photographers and also on the announcements that Jaffa Printing is doing. ZUMA was voted on by the viewers, as was announcement #4. I had THE HARDEST time deciding on which ones I liked best, so it's been kind of fun seeing what has cast most of the votes. I'm so happy for Whitnee and Nick and can't wait to get my announcement in the mail:)
