Due to our anniversary being on December 30, we decided to celebrate a month later. We enjoyed a very romantic date. It started with a horse drawn sleigh ride up at the Homestead in Midway and was followed with a phenomenal dinner at Christopher’s Prime Steakhouse. We ordered the best meatloaf you will very taste, a incredible truffle pasta, and then were treated to tantalizing creme-brulee. We are so excited for another year ahead of us.

As avid fly fishermen it is hard to say that we caught these beauties along with a handful of others on good ol’ fashion bait. It was a lot of fun to have Dan back home from New Mexico.

Thanksgiving was full of new experiences this year. We had our first deep fried turkey ever, and it was a hit. Dave was definitely was a visionary when he was initiated operation deep-fried. Can’t wait for it again next year.

This year has been wonderful for the Nielsens. We have a lot to be grateful for!

Lake Powell was a lot of fun having the family all together. The water was really cold but the sun was nice and warm. Being with the Neff Family was a lot of fun.

Can’t wait for the next Powell adventure.

On December 30, 2009 we were married in the Salt Lake City Temple. Although it was cold that winter day could have not been more beautiful.
