Thanksgiving

We had a fun and delicious Thanksgiving. My little brother, David, came from Provo, UT for a few days and it was fun to hang out with him. He was really cute and sweet with Kathryn and it was fun for her to have more time to get to know him better. She was very fascinated with all the "toys" he brought with him-like his phone, i-pod, laptop, etc. She loves books and easily got him to read to her...
David also got Kathryn hooked on eggnog! :) We are actually very happy about this because she doesn't like milk. So we have been mixing eggnog with milk and are gradually putting in more milk and less eggnog. Hopefully she'll be drinking straight milk soon. Thank you David! You're a genius! :)

On Thanksgiving, we slept in and then did a lot of cooking. We joined a bunch of other people at church for a Thanksgiving potluck. We brought a turkey, sweet potatoes (pretty much the best recipe ever-check it out!), mashed potatoes and gravy. It was the first time we had ever cooked a traditional turkey and amazingly it turned out so well! It was really fun to have Thanksgiving with friends and we definitely got stuffed with great food. Yum! Unfortunately we were working so hard to get everything ready, we forgot to take pictures of it all. Oh well.

On black Friday, David convinced me to get up before the crack of dawn and hit some sales at Target and Wal-Mart. I had never done that before and it was fun and we got in on some great sales-yea! :) Drew unfortunately had to go in to work that day because a big project had come in that week. My parents had a long layover at the Denver airport that day on their way home from a big trip to Australia, Japan, and Hawaii, so David, Kat and I went and hung out with them. We got to see a lot of pictures, hear about their trip, and came home with a lot of nice souvenirs :) Thanks mom and dad!
Later that day, David, Kat, and I went to the zoo with a friend that was in town for Thanksgiving. It was great to see her again. Her daughter is about 3 1/2 months older than Kathryn, so that was fun too. It was a perfect fall day to go to the zoo and we had fun even though some of the animals weren't out.
