Turkey Day

I started my Thanksgiving holiday a week early by going back to SLC to work for a week! It was a blast. We crafted and played games, as usual, and I was also able to go out to dinner for an early birthday celebration! Texas Roadhouse is so tasty, and it was so much fun to see everyone! On Friday after work, I drove down with Mom and Dad to meet Andy in St. George. He had a final on Friday and drove up right after so we could play for the week! On Saturday, we went for a bike ride and we went to Brick Oven for lunch to celebrate my birthday. So yummy. After that, we went to see the new Harry Potter, and we had a tasty pasta dinner and cake on Sunday. On Monday, Andy and I went to Las Vegas on Monday to celebrate our sixth anniversary! Has it really been that long? The closest Melting Pot, which has been a tradition of ours to visit and get dessert every anniversary, was in Las Vegas so we made a dayof it. We went shopping in the afternoon and then stayed the night in the city after a tasty dessert.
The rest of the fam started coming into town on Monday. It was fun to be able to see everyone and hang out! We played lots of games, and we even introduced them to Skip-Bo, which is one of the Bergy's favorites. It was a pretty big hit! We went for runs and bike rides, watched movies, and played with the munchkins. It was great. On Black Friday, we even went out with the crazies to WalMart to get some Christmas and birthday presents! It was intense, but we were successful! We also had an inaugural mini-triathalon, I suppose you could call it. The pool was packed with families the day after Thanksgiving, so we didn't do the swimming part, but we added a scooter category to the repertoire. First, we scooted, then we ran, and then some of us biked. I had no idea, but scooting is difficult! My hamstrings were burning like crazy. Andy was going so hard that he melted his back tire! It was fun, though. It was a great week! We are so grateful to have such great families and friends!
