thanksgiving weekend recap

this past weekend was so good!

it flew by and here we are, already staring Monday in the face...

Holidays are bittersweet now that we live far away from all our family in California, so I wanted to share some snippets of our weekend with everyone back home!

Joey's parents came up and stayed with us for the week and his sister and her boyfriend drove down from Seattle for the weekend. 

we all had so much fun!

eating way too much and exploring Montana.

Thanksgiving day was spent mostly inside: eating everything in sight, playing games, and chatting until way past my bedtime :)

on Friday, we slept in (!), went for a mid day hike and then out to brunch.

on Friday night, the boys went out to a camp spot for the night, and us gals + the baby met them out the next morning to cut down our Christmas tree!

on Saturday night, gramma + grandpa watched the baby while us "kids" went out for a double date night! we drank mulled wine and talked and laughed! it was so nice to be able to have a date night and not worry one bit about the babe :) 

everyone left Sunday morning and Joey and I spent the day cleaning and relaxing. we got out all our Christmas decorations, but were too tired to actually put them up HAHA!

we also got our family Christmas pictures back from the amazing Stella Kelsie Photography, so i spent pretty much all day staring at them, creating our Christmas cards, and ordering prints!
i'll share them all soon, but here's a sneak peak!

i hope you all had a great Thanksgiving as well! 

i can't believe Christmas is here! 

my absolute favorite time of the year!
