cabin thanksgiving + a classy black friday

so basically most of these photos are blurry and not that great but i decided to add every photo i felt like adding so love it or hate it - it's happening. 

john was sweet to drop me off at five am (like he has the other two times i've gone to utah) and baby stella was nice to greet me hours later for the first time. she and i are in love. 

 have i ever showed you our cabin before? if not, there it is. they just cut down a bunch of trees so you can finally take a picture and see more than 20% of it. after we arrived i somehow fell asleep way early and woke up at five am. at first this saddened me until i saw the sun start to rise through the blinds. it was beautiful. 

the following photos happened the next two days as we lounged around and enjoyed each others company, watched duck dynasty and the thanksgiving parade, loved being at the cabin, scouted out spots for family photos, shared what we are grateful for, ate forever, and danced our (mostly lilly's) hearts out. it was fun to be around so many kiddos and meet not only stella but baby lyndsey as well! 

 i sure love this family of mine! 

(and the other half of us not pictured that we missed dearly)

(..and can you believe this is only half of us?)

thanksgiving night i decided to do some black friday shopping with kim, sean, and janie. somehow we split up and it was mostly just sean and i. we enjoyed the live dj at express, the one million 14 year olds at forever 21, the one million 12 year olds (not pictured) at aero, peter b. playing a concert in the middle of the mall at 2 am, and of course the naked/uncomfortable hollister boys. 

..and each other of course

i did not, however, enjoy eating mcdonalds at 4 am or staying up forever for some sock sale at smith's market place everyone was obsessed with. but i did like spending time with my moysh fam and i especially enjoyed the boy above who threw a tantrum in the middle of walmart.
