thankschristmasgiving, we invented it.

we were so lucky and thankful to be able to go home and be with family for thanksgiving! it was so lovely... a week packed full of family bonding, scruptious edibles, beautiful dinners, a cozy home, and adventures in california. since we wanted to have christmas together we dubbed our christmas on november 26th, the day after thanksgiving. 

it really was magical just like christmas. it was just like old times... the christmas tunes were playing, the fire was going, we ran out of our rooms once we heard the okay, and the monster-sized stockings were lying on the couch. (we didn't have the monster-sized stockings before, once you graduate to marriage you get the monster-sized stockings) 

it was a wonderful week! we love having krissy in the family! it was so nice to have us all together! whether it was playing the wii, baking/cooking, trips to the grocery store for everything and anything full of SUGAR, watching movies, visiting the casita mansion, or cutting our hair (thanks to kandi), it was perfect!

  3. Looks like a great family vacation. I am so missing southern cali sunshine right now. My favorite picture though, is the darling little puppy. I want to pick him up and snuggle with him and I'm not a dog-lover (just a puppy lover). So cute.
