If you only knew the lengths that I went to to get this picture, and I guess I should have been more specific to the hubs, to at least smile, as he HATES that I take pictures of everything, everywhere we go. Oh well...this is a pretty typical face for him in pictures, annoyed! So up it goes anyway! We spent our evening at with the Casillas family household, as both of their extended families were in town! Holly and Syd were there too! The kids got some much needed time together and played so well, while the adults were able to play poker and sit around and visit! I think we have reached a turning point in our kids growing up part of their lives! They don't need us so much anymore and are able to keep themselves entertained! I will say that it is very nice to feel like an adult again!
We headed home just after 11pm and curled up in our beds (me with a good book)! About 11:55, the fireworks started and Lola came running! Not only did she want in bed with me (Chad was on the computer still), she was so scared that she wanted under the covers to sleep, and that is exactly where she fell asleep, in my arms, with the covers pulled over her head!
This morning we woke up to frozen pipes and no running water...in ARIZONA?! It took about an hour of running a drip before it came back on full force! When I was driving to shoot the wedding yesterday, I saw snow on the mountains?! It was crazy and I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone a little bit!
Today we are celebrating 2011 watching the Rose Bowl Parade, watching football, editing wedding pictures, finishing a birthday gift, and celebrating a very special birthday! We are busy!
We were blessed in 2010, cheers to 2011, I am looking forward to all that it brings!
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year my beautiful friend!! Love the family shot!! xo
We also spent the day hanging out...watching the Rose Parade, watching football & baking cupcakes!
Happy 2011!
What!? Thats just crazy! I was looking forward to warm winters in Az, not freezing butt cold ones like I am experiencing here right now. Talk about false advertising.... :)
Great shot! And haha - Jon is the same way. He HATES me taking pictures all the time and especially hates when he has to be in them!
My husband always just kind of bares his teeth in a fake smile when he's annoyed with my picture taking, ha! Such a cute blog and I'm now following!
your kids are adorable! happy 2011. xo
Happy New Year & so good to hang with the Rosies last night! Thanks again so much for my C that I love so much, and for being there.
Love Tad's face in your New Year fam photo! Classic.
I don't think it would be a "family" picture with out Chad acting like that. Somehow I think you already knew that before you started the Rosie family.
I feel ya on that "Twilight Zone". Even thought I froze my butt off for 2 days, it was beautiful to see the snow and what a great start to a new year.
Sounds like you all had a wonderful night!
haha chad's face is awesome!! I love that u stayed up!! Go Jenni!! That stinks about the pipes thank god it got all worked out. Can't wait to c your wedding pics all finished, how fun!
I love this picture and your new blog layout. I have missed you guys so much. I hope that you have a wonderful 2011. I have missed you all so much. I am just now getting to read blogs and haven't even seen email yet...it will take some time. I miss you all though!
