For Thanksgiving this year Matt, Reese and I joined Tad and Monika (Matt's brother and sister-in-law) in traveling up to Ukiah, CA where Monika is from. Although it was a long car ride...especially for an 8 month old we are so glad we went and enjoyed our week together.
A big part of spending Thanksgiving up north is getting to make fresh wreaths and swags to decorate our homes for Christmas. I LOVE this part...especially the end result. It also gives us a chance to just hang out as girls, talk and watch Christmas movies. Monika and Mary have gotten me hooked on making fresh decorations and I haven't looked back.
This happens to be the third year in a row we've spent Thanksgiving with the Young's (Monika's parents) and once again they went our of their way to spoil us with kindness and incredible food! Our eyes grow big and our mouth's water whenever we think about all the amazing cooking that goes on. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of all the food we enjoyed but here are some from the week.

We really loved our time in Ukiah and are so thankful for Monika's parents who love us like we are their kids too! Thank you for a wonderful time away, Gregg and Mary!
