Thanksgiving 2013

I had a feeling that this blog would slow down.  I think it's because I still haven't decided if I want to be a post all the time about anything person, or a rarely post, only for special events type of person.  Whatever tho.  I think it's becoming an only post about special events blog.

It was Thanksgiving last weekend.  Yay!  I really needed a break.  My mom, step-dad and sister drove up from Arlington and my brother and sister drove up from Rexburg.  So we all met in Pullman.  Easy for me.  My grandma is still here so we all chilled at her place.  

My grandma didn't want us to have to cook (and make a mess in her kitchen), so she decided it would be easier to all go out to eat somewhere.  We got reservations at the University Inn in Moscow.  I think we were the only people under 60 there.  It was good, but since I'm a relatively picky eater, it was not my style.  Actually I don't really like turkey...or ham...or stuffing...or yams.  Appetizers, yummy drinks and dessert is all I really want haha.  Plus, it was a little weird not spending the day cooking with your family.  It almost didn't feel like Thanksgiving.  But we were all together, and this gave us more time to spend with each other. 

We decided to take family pictures while everyone was here.  Sweet!  I've been telling my mom that we should all do photos for a while.  It's been 10 years!  The last professional photos we took (other than weddings) was when I was in 9th grade I think.  It was time.  So we spent a day scouting out locations.  I brought my camera and we got some ideas.  The photos we took actually turned out pretty good.  Jessica Damstedt agreed to take professional photos for us, even tho she is 38 weeks pregnant.  She did great!  She made us feel relaxed but still directed us.  I cannot wait to see them!  We didn't have long to take them because Glen worked on Friday and Saturday so we had to do them during his lunch break.  But it totally worked out.  :)  Below are just the pictures Glen too with my camera while we were looking for locations.

The rest of the weekend was spent watching The Middle, playing Bunco, and black friday shopping.  We are not crazy black friday people, but there's not much to do.  And black friday is not that crazy in Pullman, especially when you go at 1 in the afternoon.  Old Navy was 50% off everything in the store, but the line was an hour and a half!  Yikes.  We got a lot of good deals, and I'm about 85% done with my shopping.  Pretty dang nice weekend.  And only 3 weeks till I see them all again and have 2 weeks off work!
