The Wednesday before Thanksgiving Brad and I headed up north to my aunt and uncle's house in Santa Maria (about an hour north of Santa Barbara). We arrived just in time for an infamous Santa Maria tri tip dinner made by my aunt and uncle. My cousin, Kyle, his wife, Chelsy, and my cousin Blaine were all home. Kyle and Chelsy live in Fresno and Blaine goes to college in Georgia and flew home for the week. It was so nice to spend the evening with them. I don't get to see them enough. It was Brad's first trip to my aunt and uncle's house and he finally was able to see himself why I talk so highly of their home and surroundings. It's absolutely beautiful and I really love the drive up there and spending time there.
Breathtaking Santa Barbara sunset--we hit Santa
Barbara right as the sun was setting.
The next day was Thanksgiving and my Grandparents drove up and arrived at my aunt and uncle's house around 11am. My mom, dad, sister, and brother drove up and arrived around noon. We hung outside (beautiful 78 degree weather) and caught up on each other's lives until the feast was ready!
