Merry Christmas

So yesterday we took a pretty drive up Millcreek Canyon to capture some good ole' fashion family Christmas photos. Last year we took pictures with our horses, so this year we decided to have them taken with the dogs. What an adventure that was. Our great photographer and cousin James caught some great pics. Here is a lil' teaser for what is to come....Happy Holidays!!

All at once

So all of our friends and family have blogs and we decided to jump in on the fun!! So all at once we will update everyone on the Nilson family. Matt's family is from Tonga (pretty cool huh?) So you will see I often refer to him on here by his Polynesian name for I have other "Matts" in my family. His name in Poly is Matiu. For short we all call him Tiu (D-U) or for many of you, you know him as "THE DOCTOR".
Matt and I have 2 dogs and 2 horses. They keep us super busy. We live in Holladay right now so every weekend we take a short drive to the mountains to the Stoned Pony Ranch (AKA: my parents house) to ride the horses.
Tico is the bucksin, Tahoe is the Bay and lil' Tucker is in the middle. We didn't have our other lab Mylee just yet in this picture.
Mylee...she loves to go boating!

A day to remember...

Our Wedding Day

The day was perfect. Matt's mom was born in Tonga, so we had traditional Polynesian food as well as American. We also had our favorite yummy desserts. Matt's mom did a traditional Poly wedding dance while a family memeber played a guitar and sang a polynesian wedding song. It was a huge surprise for everyone there, because it had been awhile since she had last danced. It was so good to see all of our friends too. So thanks to all who came from out of state. We love you guys!!
