It's the holiday season

Here we are in Nashville where we spent our Thanksgiving weekend eating tons and playing with family.  I've been all over the place the past few weeks, in LA twice, NYC again for a week, then Nashville, and now finally home just in time to put a tree up in our empty living room! I'm currently battling the sore throat/flu and aches that I always get this time of year, but if it weren't for this I wouldn't have had the time to sit in bed and edit the few photos I took from my past trips.  This time of year cannot be topped by any other! I'm feeling especially grateful for relatively good health and my family.  Happy holidays! xo 

Midway Photo Diary

Our family trip to Midway last week consisted of too many fun things to count and ended way too soon.  On the 4th we saw the Beach Boys live, and I have to say hearing thousands of people sing along to Surfer Girl and Barbara Ann was definitely a highlight. They also played my favorite, God Only Knows, and then there were crazy fireworks (I love fireworks) so I may or may not have freaked out more than once that night. I love America. My diet on the trip went as follows: Pizza, dippin' dots, repeat. One of the nights we went to see Spiderman in the extremely small town of Heber, and I asked the boy at the candy counter if they had Dibs (my favorite movie treat).  After he looked at me like I was crazy I tried to describe them and he says, "Oh, ma'am, that's dippin' dots," to which I responded, "No it's not, I already had dippin' dots twice today." So besides eating my body weight in little balls of ice cream, I spent every second I could with my little nephews, brothers, and sister in law from the East Coast. Our week was full of water parks, shopping, Park City, slides, great views, floating the river, UTV's, Bachi Ball, and movie nights. I live for times like these!

How awesome are these pictures?? We had Smilebooth come to our reception and everyone had such a fun time with it! You might recognize Aubrey McCoy from the Bleubird blog in the third and fourth photos above.  Jake and I got to the reception early and I saw Aubrey sitting as the Smilebooth tech. I immediately recognized him, introduced myself and excitedly told him that we were Bleubird readers! We chatted for awhile about the blog and the wedding. He was the coolest guy, and as you can see he joined in on the fun before the reception got started. It's a seriously small world, people. Jake and I had a good laugh on our honeymoon looking through all the pictures that everyone took. We will cherish these forever! If you're looking for a fun way to make memories, I recommend using Smilebooth at your next event!
