Christmas 2007

Christmas 2007! We were glad to spend some time with the VanValkenburg's at Christmastime. It was a rare chance for Rylie and Corteney to see their great-grandparents. This picture was taken at the Walters home in Alpine, Utah.



We had a great time getting together at Annie's apartment in Provo, Utah. We spent the night laughing and having a great time together.
