Some observant readers noticed a new person in our family’s Christmas celebrations.
See the blondie on the far left? He and Bon Bon have known each other for a year now, having met at BYU-Idaho. He did come visit in the summertime but at that time they were just “friends.” They started to seriously date each other at the beginning of October.
And, as of Christmas Eve, they are engaged!
We knew it was coming when Bon Bon asked if he could come visit for Christmas. 🙂 We are thrilled for both of them! Come mid-April we will have a new son!
Of course, with all the girls around here there was much squealing and even some crying when she announced to them on Christmas morning that they were engaged. The older girls have been scouring Pinterest for wedding reception ideas, offering suggestions, and just having a ball helping Bon Bon plan as much as possible before she and Semisweet head back up to school this weekend.
PH is a a wonderful guy – quiet, enjoys singing, doesn’t mind (too much) the younger boys pouncing all over him constantly, grew up in rural Idaho, served a mission to Mexico, and is interested in biotechnology.
I can’t believe this stage of parenting is upon us! Lots to do. Lots to plan. Lots of exciting times ahead!
Congratulations!!! How exciting! I love her smile; she looks really happy! Which is the way it should be. 😉

Son in Laws are the best! My two are so caring, such hard workers, so thoughtful. One of them came to visit and decided I needed a new bathroom faucet, and promptly installed one. They take wonderful care of my daughters and grandchildren. They are handy to have around and fine men, husbands and fathers. It looks like your son in law will be a fine one. Congratulations.
I always wanted an equal number of sons and daughters. Now that they are all married – I have an equal number!
How exciting! Congrats!
A fun time to be planning a big celebration! She looks very happy. My s-i-l is also very quiet. Congratulations to all!
Hooray! Congratulations to Bon Bon and your whole family. How nice that he knows Spanish already. Potty training and preparing for a wedding at the same time? That is something I will never know. 🙂
Something I never thought would happen either! Ah, well, I guess it comes with the territory of a large family.
Amen, sister. Amen! LOL!
Congratulations! How exciting for all to get to help plan a wedding.
Congratulations!! Engagements are a happy time! All the planning involved, not so much, but I’ve heard it pays off! 😉
I knew it! That’s very exciting for you all. And a lovely ring, too 🙂 I like the not just a standard diamond. Very classy.
Yes, she loves sapphires! He was wise to have a friend help him look at her Pinterest board. 😉
Wow!!! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations. This is like the engagement Christmas. My husband and I had three of our siblings get engaged this Christmas and a friend from church.
How wonderful!!! They are a lovely couple. 🙂 Congratulations to you all!
Congratulations! I just dropped my son and his finance’ at BYU-I yesterday. They will be getting married April 11th (between semesters).
I have a feeling that weekend in April will be busy for many people. They are getting married on April 10th between semesters!
Oh congratulations!! What a wonderful new phase to enter into.
How exciting! Can you believe you already have a daughter getting married? What a cute couple they make. I love her ring- it looks very much like mine- I prefer sapphires myself! Good luck with all the wedding plans!
This is seriously so awesome!! 🙂 I’m so excited for Eve and for you and your family! Congrats!! I love being an in-law and know it can be so much fun.
They look cute together and he sounds like a great guy! (I did graduate in biotech, so I gotta back him up haha). Congrats!
