Happy Holiday's in Wyoming

So Mitch and I are back in Riverton, Wyoming and this time for the holidays. Besides trying to keep warm in 6 below degree weather, (Mitch helped ;)) we were greeted by a WHITE CHRISTMAS!! Family holiday parties, homemade dinners, and even a trip to Boysen Reservoir for 3 chilly days of ice fishing, kept us busy ..

Freezing cold weather is not something I am accustomed to so it was a bit painful at first and being from Texas didn't help either!  Thank you to the Mitchell family for putting up with us for a total of 2 WEEKS!  I'm going to miss the homemade meals and delicious treats, which reminds me... I need to hit the gym when I get back to LA (sigh).

Christmas Day...

A White Christmas

7am early morning...time to feed the farm animals

Fresh flowers

Yummy pumpkin praline cake!

Goodness

 Real dried orange ornaments decorate the country Christmas tree.

Homemade candy in mason jars.

And a tasty prime rib.

Glittery nails for the holidays make the girls smile.

My white elephant Christmas gift.  Flowers would look beautiful in this country milk can.   I was lucky I didn't get stuck with the cheesy romantic books.

 Ice Fishing on Boysen Lake Reservoir...

Without these insulated snow boots, my toes would fall off.  

Fishing hole

Early morning...time to check the holes.

Last day of our fishing trip.  The snow was stamped with love.   

Summer in Riverton, Wyoming

Wow! It's been a while since I've posted anything.   That's because I worked everyday and endless hours on my last show.  It was difficult to find time in the day to work on my blog. And when I had free time, I just wanted to sleep!  All in all, It was a blast and I especially loved working with the crew.  I'll upload photos soon!  

For now, here are some cool photos that I've been meaning to add.  

Back in June I took a trip to Riverton, Wyoming to meet Mitch's brother and his family.  Spent 5 days on a ranch getting to know the family and the animals.  We didn't sleep in a five star hotel that's for sure, but we did have a pleasant stay at...take a look at picture #2.  Don't laugh! I call this "The Hilton On the Ranch."  So much fun!  We rode 4 wheelers, fed the cows, and ate fresh eggs and bacon every morning.  It was a nice getaway from Los Angeles.  Busy city can be quite overwhelming.

Anyways, the best part was capturing life's little moments on the ranch.  I took lots of random photos during my stay.  Take a look and let me know what you think!
