Taylor Family Pictures 2014

On Christmas Eve my mom's side of the family had everyone together for the first time in a few years and probably the last time for many years. Which means we needed to do a large family picture. My siblings and I decided to give my grandma the gift of getting a real photographer take pictures and not just a neighbor and to give her all the pictures and print them for her house.
We were lucky that my sister in law Aubrey was willing to come take pictures of our family. They turned out great. Here they are,
The whole family minus one missionary.

Andrew and Jacqui's Wedding


Wooley Wedding 218
My younger brother got married on January 9, 2015. They are so happy and I am so happy for them.
They got married in the Draper Utah Temple. It was a little cold that day but it was sunny and nice. We got to the temple and dropped Layla off with her and mine cousins to play with while we went to the sealing. It is so nice to be able to be in the temple with my parents, siblings, grandparents and aunts and uncles. Having a family that is able to do to that together is amazing and wonderful. My Grandpa Woolley was the one who performed the sealing for Andrew and Jacqui. That was such a cool experience to have him be able to perform that ceremony. It made me laugh and cry a little. Then we got to see Andrew and Jacqui smiling so big at being married. After the ceremony we congratulated them and went to get Layla to change her into her "wedding" dress. We got changed and went out to wait for the newly married couple to come out of the temple to take pictures.
We took pictures and then Tanner and I went home for the hour and a half between the temple and luncheon and we relaxed and put Layla down for a nap.

They had their luncheon at Rodizo Grill in American Fork. It was nice to be like the only people there during luncheon time because we go the meat to be circling around a lot and pretty consistently. It was great and we all stuffed ourselves. We were so full for most of the rest of the day. It was fun to see part of their wedding video and getting to watch pictures of their relationship and then growing up.

The reception was down at the Provo city library. It was decorated so pretty. It is so hard to explain. I hope the pictures can show how pretty it was. We talked with family and friends. They did the normal cutting the cake, tossing the bouquet and throwing the garter. It was fun. Then they did the first dance and had a little dance party after. Layla was loving the music and dancing. We got a few videos of it but she was loving it.

Then, they left on their honeymoon and we cleaned up and it was a beautiful wedding and reception. I cant wait for their life together and for us to get to know them as a couple better.

Happy New Years from the Nilsson's

There is just so much to write that I cannot decide if I should or if I should just let pictures tell the story of our New Years Eve and New Years Day. I love this holiday especially the way the Woolley's celebrate. It means spending a lot of time together, going bowling at BYU, eating a lot and playing games, watching movies and getting little to no sleep. This year we did not sleep over ( this is the family tradition to have the cousins sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa Woolley's) but that did not matter because we still left late and went back in the morning. It is the best way to finish out the holiday season.

Layla did not stay awake until midnight but she did wake up a little to the sound of pots and pans, toy horns and celebrations.
