Thanksgiving weekend was great. Kirsten and her boyfriend Dylan came in town from Portland on Wednesday. I got off work at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, met up with Kirsten, Jared and Ryan for lunch at the soup kitchen by West High. Jared and Annie took me and Kirsten to Hunger Games, Catching Fire for my birthday. Loved that show! We picked up LC's pizza and went back to our house to eat. Thanksgiving morning, Ryan went to play flag football with Jared and some of his friends. We made the mashed potatoes, green beans and pumpkin pie. Annie and Jared made the turkey, stuffing, butterscotch pie and appetizers. We ate around 4:00 pm at Jared's place. I always enjoy Thanksgiving and the time spent with family and remembering things we are thankful for. The girls convinced the boys that we should watch the Holiday. It was a great day!
Friday we actually slept in - Nolan came in our room at 7:45 am. We couldn't believe it! It was a nice surprise. We met up with everyone at Liberty park, played around there. Went to Costa Vida for lunch and then shopping at Nordstrom Rack and Children's Place. Everyone went their separate ways for the evening. We invited my parents to come over for some pumpkin pie. We watched the Oregon and Oregon State game. Another great day with the family.
Saturday we went to breakfast at Royal Eatery downtown and then to the Utah football game. We ended up taking Nolan with us to the game since we felt we couldn't ask anyone to watch him. There were 7 home games this season, and we felt we had already exhausted all of our babysitting resources and it was Thanksgiving weekend so everyone we had already asked couldn't do it. Nolan was great at the game and both Ryan and I were shocked at how well he did. There was so much going on I think there was never a dull moment and Nolan likes that. The Utes won their final game of the season against Colorado. I'm sad they won't be going to a bowl game this year since their record was 5-7, but hopefully next year.
