Thanksgiving with the Savages

Sunday we celebrated a belated Thanksgiving with the Savage clan. Lyla could hardly wait to see her cousins and of course her Ala and Poppa (Grandma and Grandpa Savage). They had been in Hawaii for the holiday and just got back the day before. I didn't get very many good snaps because it was dark but here is Lyla in her gorgeous new dress and bracelet Grandma and Grandpa brought back for her (and her cousins). Very fun way to end a wonderful weekend.

Tree Farm No. 3

This was our final stop and probably one of the favs. The name of the farm is Dobler Hill and they have to be the sweetest family ever. My parents ended up getting their tree here. Lyla of course had no interest in the trees but couldn't get enough of the puddles. Good thing she has her rainboots on.

Tree Farm No. 2

So like I said we never make one stop but this one was a must stop mostly because they were selling their trees for $10 bucks. Can you believe it. Of course Danny and I had to get a tree here which we did. Lyla didn't care much for the trees because there were animals every where and millions of chickens. Okay not millions but at least a 100 and I am not lying. It was crazy. I have never seen anything like it. We are excited to get our tree up. It is a little fuller then we've done in the past but I know once we have it up it will be beautiful.

Thanksgiving Weekend...Tree Farm No. 1

It has become tradition that Thanksgiving weekend we start out at Aunt Evy's (my Grandpa Stajgr's sister) for dinner, then the next day my mom and I head out for the crazy Black Friday shopping then Saturday we go get our christmas trees. This year was no different and that was just fine by me. I love this time of year. Here are a few pictures from the first tree farm we went to. We have gotten our trees here in the past but because it was our first stop (and we usually make a few) we just couldn't stop there. Lyla loved running around finding mushrooms, looking at the trees and playing in the mud which she often called "poo-poo." Funny girl.

This is what Happens on Sunday at The Savvys

I feel so quilty posting this picture but it was so comical. Lyla just crawled up on the couch all by herself with her pizza completely lounging just quietly eating. It had to be the funniest thing ever. Gotta love Sundays at the Savvy's.

Breakfast at the Hub

It has been a while but time to time Danny, Lyla and I walk to breakfast. It is also a distance but it is nice on a sunny day and we always have a good time. This sunday it was to the Hub. Lyla slept most of the way and most of breakfast but she woke up just in time to eat a little bit before we headed back home.

Lisa's Baby Shower

Saturday Lyla and I had a little girly time and went to Lisa Patterson's baby shower. Lisa and I worked together at PMG back in the day. She is their editor. It was great to see her as well a few all the other ladies (including Rosie who is pictured here coloring with Lyla). Lyla was great, tried to play the games, ate all the wonderful snack and even helped Lisa open all her presents (well maybe not helped but more tried to take over). It was a great time.

A Little Extra Time Together After the Wedding

The day after the wedding we all got together for one last time for a little lunch. It was a beautiful home on a waterski lake in the area. It was great to spend some extra time with the Bride and Groom but also Amy (who Kelsey and I grew up waterskiing with as well). She is in Alaska now so I don't get to see her often. It ended up being a cloudy rainy day (very NW) but we had a great time anyway.

Reception

Of course since I was in the bridal party once the wedding began I didn't have my camera hanging off my shoulder but I did happen to get a few pics of the reception room and my wonderful parents when they first arrived.

Getting Ready for the Big Day

The day of the wedding was a absolutely blast. Of course we ladies started primping very early but there were mimosa's and a delicious brunch and in the end everyone looked gorgeous and the wedding with off with out a hitch.
