'TIS THE {busy} SEASON

And that it is! SO busy!!

errands.

parties. 

shopping. 

schedules to follow.

party planning.

house decorating.

gift wrapping.

I could keep on going.. but I won't bore you with that - you get the jist!

With all that to say, lately I've been trying to take time to intentionally put a piece of my energy solely into my little family. And so glad I have. I don't want this season to fly by and me hardly remember it because I was too busy. With Harper being able to show her excitement this year, I want to enjoy it right there with her and soak up every bit of it.

Though the blog has been a bit neglected, I must say it has so been worth it.
I mean look at these 'cheeks' I've been spending my days with :)

Tomorrow we are leaving for a quick family get-away for the weekend and we couldn't be more excited!

This is usually the time of year when the last thing we can think about is going out of town. But I am so glad we are! Just thinking about the memories we are going to make with our little Harper gives me that Christmas morning feeling!

When we get back though, it's holiday crunch time! We are nearly two weeks away from Christmas :)

IDAHO THANKSGIVING 2015

We had such a great Thanksgiving with family, friends, and all the delicious food you could imagine! Just what Thanksgiving should be.

We started the weekend with a 13.5 hour (normally 12 hour) road trip to Pocatello, ID. Ugh!

This time of year is not in our favor when driving. Although I LOVE the snow, traveling in it is

a bit unpleasant. But we made it safe and sound!

We had a fun few days seeing our loved ones who we miss so much. 

As you can see, Harper and little miss Sutton (who is shockingly a month older than Harper) were the cutest being reunited!

It still amazes me that my best friend, Brittney :) and I had our baby girls just one month apart!

A lunch date with Rachel and baby Alice to our favorite spot was a must!

Though we froze our buns off (no joke - it was 20 degrees out), it was so fun taking Harper to the Christmas lights parade downtown!

This little is a trooper and did such a good job traveling long distance in the car!!

We now have the Christmas decorations out and the tree is up. We are ready for the best time of the year!
Cheers!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK

Thanksgiving week!

It's here and it came so so fast! (kinda like I expected).

We've had a busy last week with celebrating Brandon's 31st birthday (nearly all weekend long - of course!), Christmas card pictures with the fabulous Candice, and then hosting Friendsgiving at our house. So much. But yet so fun!
A few pictures from the last week :)

31 balloons with 31 reasons we love him.

Birthday dinner at The Hub with just the three of us.

We had a family birthday dinner the night before at our favorite restaurant, The Table.

One of the two tables for Friendsgiving :)

And here we are, just t w o days away from Thanksgiving!
We are so excited for the great food, family/friend time, and a little bit of relaxation. But first {tomorrow}, we will be making our 12 hour drive to Pocatello, Idaho! Wish us luck for a long day of traveling with a 16 month old. She has always done great traveling before (she's been on many road trips/flights), but she is of course more active than ever and we are praying she will stay entertained! Once we arrive all will be good :) Pocatello shows snow in the forecast and I am so so excited for it! That's one of the things I miss most about home, snowy winters! There is nothing more magical and breathtaking than the city covered in perfect white snow.

Thanksgiving throwback to last year with our little {4 month old} Harper :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!
