Fall in Sacramento

I have been so behind in blogging! I am not sure if anyone even reads this thing, oh well, I do this for myself anyway! In early November Nathan and I drove up to Apple Hill to enjoy the weather, eat some good food and look at the cute shops.

There were some fancy cars Nathan liked looking at

1. Apples galore 2. A fun candy shop

 1. A brussels sprout branch??! 2. Enjoying some apple strudel

 Me enjoying some GLUTEN FREE apple crisp!

Okay now for the crummy iphone pictures, I haven't been breaking out my camera enough lately! My parents made the trip up here for Thanksgiving and we LOVED having them here! It was so fun cooking for them.

Thanksgiving dinner

BYU played University of Nevada so we made the drive up to Tahoe and stayed in a really cool ski resort. They had so many fun Christmas activities, including carolers, gingerbread houses, ice skating show and a gingerbread village unveiling! It was a blast.

We went out to eat and enjoyed a FOUR POUND burger.

Walking around Lake Tahoe

The football game, a very entertaining one!

Fall is beautiful in Sacramento!

Thanksgiving with Friends

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with some close friends! It was tons of fun. Nathan and I provided the turkey while everyone else brought a different Thanksgiving dish. 

 The cute centerpieces I made... Got the idea off Pinterest :)

Oh yes. And we all had to dress up as pilgrims or indians. Nathan is the cutest Indian ever!

The whole gang

 The two best costumes

 Cam and Julie = cute pilgrims

Curtis and Tori = cute people

Spencer and Sadey = more cute "normal looking" people

Brad and Courtney = coolest indians EVER

                                   
                                     And after dinner we hunted some turkeys! Tons of fun.

Overall a very fun night! Nathan and I surprised my family by coming home on Saturday (although we told them we would be home Monday.) We sure do love being home!



Our Thanksgiving Tree

My family had the tradition of making a Thanksgiving Tree every year so Nathan and I are going to keep this tradition going in our own little family! 

First cut out the trunk out of a paper grocery bag and crumple it

Then add leaves and write on each leaf one thing you are grateful for

 Isn't it adorable! :)

 On another note, I saw SEVEN deer on campus today! It was awesome.

And here are some cute pictures of me skyping with Tristan and Lo. Sure do love them and can't wait to see them in a week and a half! :)

Halloweekend

Nathan and I went to the funnest Halloween party tonight! We played a halloween version of truth or dare, ghost bowling and won the best overall costume! Nathan was Bert the Chimney Sweeper and I was Mary Poppins :)

This is us as the party

Cutest chimney sweeper ever!

Our gold medals we won for the costume contest! :)

I hope you had a great Halloweekend!
