A dream Thanksgiving

It really was.

First, we got to go see Avery perform in the Kindergarten Pie feast.
They sang about 5 Thanksgiving songs and it was probably sweeter than the pie we ate afterwords.

After the feast, we literally jumped in the car and drove to San Lois Obispo California to see Trav's brother's family. 

This place is California's best kept secret. It's in the central coast, so not crazy amounts of people and it's SO gorgeous! Don't get me wrong, its still California. There are hippies that make you buy grocery sacks when you go grocery shopping. But if someone told me I had to live here, I don't think I would cry.

This is Kevin's backyard




We went on a cousin hike

And of course, we beached it up

This girl has visited the beach twice in her short little 6 months
She is gonna be a beach babe!



Oh and I tried surfing for the first time. I loved it. I can totally see why some people throw their lives away and live on the beach. There is this weird magic when you are out there. Oh and 3 weeks later, some guy got bit by a great white shark in the exact spot I was surfing. YOLO.






Kimberly had the most amazing Thanksgiving dinner. 
ambiance. check.
company. check.
amazing food. check.
Probably the best Thanksgiving meal I've had in years (no offense to anyone).




 After dinner, we all just hung out by the fire. 
Then eventually, this happened

To explain how great of a time we had on Thanksgiving, I will just mention that we didn't watch one lick of football that day. That tells ya something!

Shane, Jesse and Alex were so much fun!

SLO drive in movie

Thanks for such a magical long weekend Charles family!



Scary

Halloween this year was pretty fun! My parents, Sadie and Berkeley came up from Utah to celebrate!

Isla was so excited to meet her new cousin Berkeley. They both dressed up like cabbage patch kids.

And the rest of us? Well, we are just freaks.











I think this guy might be the biggest freak out of all of us

That is just creepy Dad!

The whole night was fun, exhausting and memorable!
(thanks aunt Titi for the haunted houses, my girls were so HAPPY)







Oh yeah, really fast too. We went to a Halloween party the week before at our friend's house. We were supposed to dress up like TV or movie characters

Can you guess?
 Alex Trebbek and Ken Jennings!

Joe and Amber?
Those weird aliens on Sesame street


Harry Potter and zombie Sarah Palin 

Shoot, I don't have any of the other couples pictures! 
But it was a way fun night!!!

Halloween is pretty awesome
