Thanksgiving

Andy and I love the holidays. Andy gets a bit of a break from school, and we get an excuse to see our families! My boss at work was nice enough to let me off of work on my birthday, so on Saturday after work, we headed up to St. George! We got there pretty late, I seem to never get off of work on time, but it was awesome to be able to get up to B-town early! We were lucky enough to be able to hit a random snowstorm on the way through Cedar City, good that the Jetta seems to handle okay in the snow, but our windshield washer fluid froze close to Beaver, so we had to pull over and try to thaw it out! The parking lot was PACKED with other people trying to do the same thing. Apparently they don't have -20 windshield washer fluid as a standard in AZ. Who knew. Anyway, we made it safe to B-town and the party began! On Monday, we celebrated my b-day by going out to lunch at Jason's Deli. We met up with Mom & Dad, Brock, Linds & the kids, Bear and Bobbie and the kids, and the Zo's. It was so much fun! I am always so happy to see people in Utah! We had Pier 49 Pizza up at my parents for dinner and played games with everyone! Awesome. On Wednesday, Andy and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary! I can't believe that it has been 7 years. It makes me feel old. We celebrated our anniversary by eating at some of our favorite SLC restaurants! We had lunch at Moochie's, dinner at Crown Burger, and, to keep up with our tradition, dessert at the Melting Pot. We have gone to the Melting Pot every year for our anniversary, and we're keeping it up! It sounds like a pretty fat anniversary, and I guess it was, but it was awesome!

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Aunt Dawna's house, and it was tasty tasty tasty as usual! That family knows how to throw a party! And we are always happy to partake of all of the yummy food :) It was fun to see the whole fam!

On Friday, we went to El Matador to celebrate Evan's birthday and Andy went to the U of U football game with Tony.
I think they froze. Probably more noticeable since the U played TERRIBLY. Embarrassing, really. Oh well. On Saturday, we went to see Grandpa B and went up to Logan for some Frederico's and up to Lewiston for the grand tour. It is always so great to see Grandpa B, he so awesome. We started our voyage home after we got back from Lewiston. We always love our visits back to Utah. We are so grateful for such awesome friends and family that always make us look forward to visits!
