Everyone has their struggles in life, and mark and I definitely have them .... but finding each other was not one of them! We were 16 years old when I first met Mark.... From the day I said "Hi, I'm Candice" to the day we got married we were attached at the hip (except for the 3 month breakup that all teenagers have at some point, lol). You know those weird people that say "I just knew he was the one the minute I met him", well I think we are both those people. After dating for 5 years, we got married at the age of 21 and 22. We had a cute wedding on one of those boats in Newport Beach. I turned the corner to walk down the aisle in my white wedding dress, and there was Mark with a big smile, crying. At that moment I knew I was making the best decision of my life! I know I'm a bit sappy when I talk about Mark, and thats because I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM! Now fast forward almost 5 years into marriage....This past Christmas was amazing! It was the first Christmas we had both of our boys... not to mention they were at the perfect "santa/open gifts" age. Oslo had fun just playing with the wrapping paper. And the $1 gifts I bought wyatt "blew his mind with excitement"! Two days before christmas we celebrated with our little family of four.... then Christmas eve with my family, and Christmas day with Marks Family. It was truly an amazing week! Here are just a few of the images we captured of our new family of four :)

Thank you Molly for taking some of these awesome photos!
