Recap:



 While Bubs & I were at the Coast for the holiday, my fam hosted Thanksgiving, and Grandma Sally came into town!



The Coast!


 Our air mattress and tent were lifesavers. So comfy and we had plenty of space!


 This babe is my new fave. I had so much fun playing with him! It was fun to put away my phone and spend time just enjoying others' company! :)




Highlights from The Coast:
  • Sleep!
  • Playing with aforementioned baby
  • Walking to the beach & watching the seals 
  • Girls trip to town for Black Friday
  • FireBall
  • Wing Fest
  • Listening to Ryan & Travis sing Still Fly by Big Tymers



Sunday was Alex's Farewell talk. (He totally nailed it BTW). We snapped this pic while we were getting ready for Alex's Farewell Open House.


 ...Saying goodbye to Grandma & Allie before leaving for Utah.


Mother & Jeff took Alex to Utah two days early to hang with my sister, Lexi & her husband, Sam. 


They got to do some sight seeing. They said it was so fun!

Bye, Elder Arciniaga! See you in two years! (Here's a crazy thought: by the time he gets home, we'll have a toddler!)



Weekly Obsessions:

  • Christmas music.
  • "Stressed Out" by 21 Pilots
  • "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" by Hailey Reinhart

These couches.
 We got new couches! I am obsessed.











 We got a table, chairs & bar stools too! Yay for furniture!

T minus 12 weeks-ish until Baby arrives!

XOXO,
