Thanksgiving

This year was our first official Thanksgiving together. My mom & grandma flew in for the long weekend to help us cook & spoil us while they could. It never ceases to amaze me how the food is prepped half the day and gone in 20 minutes. It was so nice to have family here with us though, especially after this rough year. 

I'm incredibly thankful for Jay. If I hadn't met him last year, I wouldn't of stayed in AZ, wouldn't have him obviously, and our precious dog! He makes every day here worth while and I love spending time with him, he's the greatest man ever! I'm thankful for Uley because dogs make everyday better & he's the best four legged baby I could ask for!

I'm so thankful for my mom & grandma - they've been my best friends and the best parents I could of asked for. I'm thankful for the wonderful 19 years I got to spend with my grandpa and great grandpa. They have been the best male figures in my life & I'm so glad I was able to develop that relationship with them. 

What would the holidays be without family after all?

We also got our FIRST Christmas tree this year! I'm so excited and I can't stop looking at it!! It's almost 80 degrees everyday and this definitely helps it make it feel more like the holidays here. And of course, it's OUR first tree :) This is a horrible picture, but oh well.

In the spirit of Christmas & Thanks to Pinterest, I also made this wreath. Who knows how many ornaments I ended up doing but it was super easy, it only took a few hours and now I can admire it - things are so much better when you make them yourself. 

I really love the holidays so much & I can't wait to get finals over and get back to Texas with our families. This new year is going to be absolutely wonderful, I can just tell!

Until next time - xoxo
