our cousins from southern cali spent a few days with us earlier this month. we played blokus {our fave family board game!} + played rook + stayed up till the wee hours of the morning + engaged in soul-searching conversations + went skiing + visited the bean museum + stopped by the byu bookstore for candy + spent the afternoon at the provo beach resort + ate at malawi’s + ordered pizza + cheered for myla at futsol + made a big taco bar at home with our fave starter sauce + ordered in indian food + gained a few pounds in just a few days…

was beautiful, and silly.

two homes to our right is one of the most beautiful homes in america.

the homeowner builds homes {check this out!},
and he and his wife are both artists {check out her etsy shop, here!!!}
and what they created with this home, is stunning. unbelievable, actually.

every time i visit their home, it transports me, to somewhere far from here.

you really have to experience it, to have any idea what i’m talking about.

needless to say, we were all thrilled to find out they were hosting
the neighborhood christmas party!

she’s rockin’ 73!

we celebrated texas-roadhouse style and
at home with a little poinsettia party!
