Thanksgiving Part 2

I was very, very nervous to surprise my family. I know surprises aren't always the best, I mean, there's a time and a place for them and I wasn't sure if this was the time and the place.

 

(On a side note, I loved driving through good ol' Utah. Gosh, I had missed this place.)

 

When we arrived at the big blue house aka the Agle Jr. home, I nervously walked in but let Keke enter first. She walked around the corner and said hello to my Mama and then I walked around the corner and said hello too... guess what everyone. Seeing my Mama in person was one of the best things ever. It's only been 3.5 months but folks, I have really missed my fam bam. They are the best. After a hug and a brief explanation letting her know I hadn't been fired or anything, that this was just a quick visit, I went up and saw Dano who was nearly asleep but I didn't care, I wanted to see her anyway. Next was Branni boy and then my Daddy came home and then, and then, and then,.... ah. My whole family (minus Dare Bear who was at his house at the time) was under the same roof.

 

Wow. Words cannot express how happy I was.

 

I missed this big boy so much!

The next day we took a girls trip to Gardner Village, the cutest little mini mall type place that was decorated for Christmas with lots of life size elves and Christmas lights. Happy day.

I really, really, really wanted this hat.
Unfortunately, I would never have a reason to wear it.

That night, I went to my Daddy's play rehearsal for the production of 'Liken the Scriptures, The First Christmas.' It is playing at the Scera theater in the month of December and since I won't be present for the actual run of the show, I had the opportunity to see part of the first run through on stage. HEY ALL MY UTAH PEEPS!!!! You are not going to want to miss this production. It's heart warming, it's funny, it's the epitome of Christmas. Tickets are on sale now. Click HERE to purchase yours.

These are my besties.

I'm so blessed!

 

Next up, I got to visit a few of my dear friends for a bit.

to be continued...

Sister Night Adventures.

Dare Bear went on a Big Foot search with some friends so Keke invited Dano and myself to spend the night with her in SLC.

We partied like rock stars.

Just kidding.

We were asleep by 10pm.

But that doesn't mean we didn't have fun!

Agle sista style.

We started by eating dinner at Rumbi Grill.

(Yummmmmmmmm.)

(I had mango cheesecake.)

(Ahhhh. Mango??? Cheesecake???? My two most favorite things!!)

Then we watched one of my most favorite movies, 'My Best Friend's Wedding.'

(Every morning I wake up...)

The following morning, we went shopping at City Creek mall and bonus, none of us exceeded our budgets!

Dang we're awesome.

And then to top it all off, we had pizza.

Lots and lots of pizza for lunch.

What a great 18 hours.

Love my sissies to death.

Grateful Dare Bear didn't get killed by Bigfoot.

Blessed.

le festivities.

Yesterday, I felt like it was my birthday.
I woke up at 6 am sharp to start my day.
Why did I commit such a travesty, you ask?
Because it was BIO test time.
I passed. (Glory!)
Before I knew it, Mama, Curbs, The Birthday Girl, and I, were in the car and heading up to 'Fashion Place Mall.' (Daddy was in Iowa visiting his sister and Dare Bear and Keke were going to meet us up there.)
At Fashion Place Mall is a beautiful store that opened about a week ago.
I don't know if you've ever heard of it, it's called umm... H&M... anybody, anybody?:)
OH MY LANTA!!! It was fantastic. If you 'Utahn's' have not been yet, I deeply encourage you to do so. It will change your life.
Okay, maybe not your life but it will put a snazzy spin on your wardrobe!
I got this dress...


...and I'm kind of obsessed with it.
The accessory possibilities are literally endless.
I feel like I might explode a little. (of joy of course).
Oh, also, I feel like a pretty ballerina when I wear it.
You can't beat that, right?

After shopping we went to the one and only, 'Cheesecake Factory.'
Num. Yummy.
Oh my.
I had never been before yesterday but wow. Let's just say, I'm a fan now.
Oh and my life has been changed.
(Literally changed this time.)

The birthday girl.

The mama.


The newly weds.

The couple who's been together longer than the newly weds have known each other.... (oh how I love to tease Keke about that one. But it's only jokes and fun. Love you sissy!)
And! Because I didn't finish my delicious pizza, they gave me a pizza box. I was expecting a boring one but no! Look at this beautiful piece of art! I don't want to throw it away... is that gross?

After dinner, Joe, our fantisimo waiter, delivered a piece of cheesecake to Dano. However, it wasn't exactly spelled right. "Um... who's Daniel?" Priceless.

To finish the night, we came home and watched "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," the tale of violence, love, and more violence. Good times.
Dano.
Your birthday was awesome.
Your face is awesome.
I can't handle it.
Love you, seester.
ps. let's do it again tomorrow.
Mmkay? Mmkay.
