So, the big news in our family this Christmas is that my niece, Stephanie, became

engaged to wonderful Matt!

He proposed on Christmas Eve in front of the whole family! It was awesome!

(again - way to go, Matt)

We are all thrilled that they will be getting married soon- they are a great couple who remind me how fun it is to be in love with your best friend!

We all love Matt a lot, and he just fits right in with our bunch!

Congratulations, you guys!!

Matt, sweatin' bullets just before proposing!

The big moment! She was STUNNED!!

He had her crying (along with all of us!) before she even saw

the ring - it didn't end ALL NIGHT!

She said YES!

SO PRETTY!
