Merry Christmas...card 2012!

Molly, the singer

Molly's preschool class seranaded Best Buy corporate with holiday songs.  It was so fun to see her though when she sees me she won't sing, so I had to hide and gave my phone to someone to record her.  But in the car, she will belt it out!!

Three weddings in five weeks!!

We were invited to 3 weddings this year...and they just happened to fall into the same 5 week period. Started with Andy's college friend, Chris Simpson & Andrea.

Anne & Andy got married at the James J. Hill Library that overlooks Rice Park in St Paul.  So beautiful!

My great friend and running partner, Anne married Andy Johnson.

Ended with a girl who works on Andy's team.

Molly's birthday party
