Thanksgiving

We just got back from a long vacation to CO to visit my family for Thanksgiving.
It was great! 
The whole vacation we just ate food and played games and watched football and it was amazing. I loved having a break from work.
We also spent 3 days up in the mountains at a condo so everyone could go skiing. Sadly, it is not recommended for pregnant women to ski, so I had to sit out, but there wasn't much snow anyway so I didn't feel too bad.
I didn't take any pictures of our trip on my own so I stole some from my mom's blog (thanks Mom!) 

But first!... The night before we left we had a bonfire at our friend's the Nordgrens. We had an early flight the next day, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to eat some tasty S'mores and hang with our friends.


And here are a few pics from the Colorado trip.

Playing Sequence.

The Feast!

Settlers up at the condo.


And this is what Dad and Tyler did any time we were just standing around talking.... eating the endless supply of pistachios.

We have been super swamped since we've been back, playing catch up with school and work.
The Young Women had Night of Excellence on Wednesday night and Tyler was a champ, helping me transport like 10 vases full of flowers (and water!..yeah should have thought that through) to the church from our house.

But with all of that going on we still had time to make it to Bingo Night at the school for a couple hours to try and win some prizes.
We weren't so lucky this year, but we still had lots of fun.

While we were there we tried out the photo booth a couple times.

This first picture cracks me up. They must have had the photo booth set for all the Asian kids... It was perfect for me! ... but too short for Tyler haha


Second take...
Check out my cute baby bump :)

This weekend we are going to try and catch our breath!
Only 3 more weeks until our Christmas vacation!! wooo!!

We actually got to do a photo-booth!! I thought those only existed in movies for dating montages!
Also I would like everyone to know that I had an undefeated season this year at Settlers of Catan! 2-and-0!
Thanks Engstroms for a great Thanksgiving!
