Festival of Lights and a New Year

Ever since I met Radik he has been wanting 1- to take a trip to Miami and 2- to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. On New Years Day we were finally able to get one of those checked off. We scored super cheap tickets and the show was GREAT (much needed after a rough New Years Eve).

Freda had some friends visiting her that wanted to see the D.C. LDS Temple Festival of Lights. She called me up to see if I could drive her, Auntie and Sweet Pea up there while their friends followed us. While we were driving over a road with a ton of pot holes and bumps little Vera yells at me from her car seat. BE CAREFUL GiiiSELLE! It was the cutest thing. I can't believe that she is saying my name already! Just LOVE her! I remember back in the day putting up these lights with the young single adult ward and bumping into Elliot, an old highschool buddy that was serving his mission at the time.
