happy thanksgiving weekend familia!

i realized that this was my very first thanksgiving where i didn't have any family around... but luckily i've still been able to spend the entire weekend with people who i really love and care about! i spent the weekend at aaron's parent's house with his siblings and their families... chrissy can attest to the fact that aaron's family can be quite entertaining when they all get together so i was definitely in good hands! here are just some fun pictures from the weekend that i wanted to share with you all! love and miss you and can't wait to see your faces next month! xoxo

my darling little emma face flew into town wednesday night for a friend's wedding this weekend so aaron and i picked her up and got to spend some time with her before heading off to his parent's house.
aaron and i before thanksgiving dinner... i have the cutest boyfriend ever!
probably the best picture of aaron i have ever taken.
aaron's cute neices playing in their pj's before we all went to bed that night.
even baby ty got into his cute pj's... he's getting so big! he can walk all over the place and talks in his own language all of the time! ahhh i'm so obsessed!
the next morning aaron and i actually woke up at like 3:45 am to run to wal-mart in hopes of snagging a good deal on a flat screen tv. the first store was already out of stock when we got their at 4:30 (even though the sale didn't start until 5!!!!) so we jetted over to one in downtown salt lake and ended up getting the 5th to the last one they had in stock after waiting in line forever! totally worth it though!

anyways, after aaron and i got back to his parent's house, we all went up to this cool privately owned forest place and cut down this christmas tree for aaron's parents. the boys couldn't even fit the tree on aaron's truck so we had to drag it the whoel way back. (and no, aaron doesn't always look so white trash.... hahaha)

this picture is too funny for so many reasons. yes, aaron and i both look realllyyyyy white trash after not sleeping all night and getting dressed for cutting down christmas trees. aaron's dad made me take this picture after he put his hat on my head so that my hair wouldn't look so poofy.... so considerate.
that night we went to temple square to see the light display (by the way, the light display really isn't worth seeing anymore... they cut back on the amount of lights by a lot, so i think this will be the last year we all go for awhile.) here is aaron's pretty sister, sara, and her baby boy!
this picture describes aaron's family perfectly... me, aaron and aaron's dad and sister being silly. this picture is just one of the many silly ones we took inside the conference center. all of us were laughing and being sooooooo loud in there, so i'm pretty sure all of the volunteers were happy when we decided to finally go back outside.
aaron and his beautiful mother! i tried to get aaron to make a normal face with his mom but to no avail...
aaron's dad and baby ty! hahahah i love his dad's face in this!

post pictures of all of your fun adventures! missed you guys this holiday!

Hi everyone!

I made it to Korea and am loving it so far. Go to my blog at www.chrissyrenae.com for the fulllll update. I would lovve it if everyone updated the blog like once a week so that I can stalk all of you and keep updated on what's going on back home. Plus it will be a good habit to get into since Erik is leaving soon too and I'm sure will want to know what's up as well. I know everybody's busy, but a few updates with just whatever random stuff you're up to would be very much appreciated!!!

I miss you all already. Love!
