Gobble Gobble and a "BLUE" Christmas

Happy Belated Thanksgiving everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful time during the Thanksgiving time!

THANKSGIVING
Our Thanksgiving (our first as a married couple) was spent here in Provo. Chris's sister Katie and her husband and three kids came over to Provo to celebrate the holiday with us. Since our apartment is...well... a bit small there was no humanly possible way to squeeze all 7 of us in to have a nice thanksgiving feast. So we decided to turn the turkey and the trimmings over to Mimi's restaurant. I know its not quite good ole home cooking, but it was SUPER easy, no cooking and more importantly no CLEANING! The food was good (much better than I could have ever made) although the one draw back is they were pretty busy and so were trying to serve people fast and get people out of there quickly. Oh well. We then we made the trek to the movie theaters like many others to see the movie 'Enchanted' (which was pretty cute). The day was different then my usual turkey day but it still was wonderful!

BLACK FRIDAY
ok no... I did not brave all the crowds early Friday morning to get some good deals (although Katie did). But does shopping later in the day at the gateway mall count even though the few things we bought were not on sale and were for ourselves! (haha, the only reason we bought things is because we couldn't resist because the gateway finally got our favorite store Urban Outfitters). But then late that day we went to temple square for the first night they light the lights.

THE HOLY WAR
Ok so one of the main reasons we stayed in Provo for Thanksgiving was so that we could go to the BYU vs. Utah game. Well not much to say other than I wish I could have as much control over my husband's emotions as BYU football does. Seriously within five minutes Chris went from sitting with his head down about ready to cry to pure euphoria jumping up a down and screaming "yea!" in the peoples' faces around him (one being a Utah fan, but don't worry he apologized later for getting in his face). But it was a great victory, especially for our last home BYU football game as students. So of course as our last hoorah we rushed the field with the hundreds of others and took our pictures in the end zone and walked through the players tunnel. It was a good way to end our BYU football experience.














Here we are at the game, you can tell this is early on, because Chris is still all smiles. Then there is Chris celebrating with the crowd rushing the field behind him.


Here is Chris pointing to the final score! and Thumbs up to my cool endzone picture (I will probably never set foot here again unless they honor me for some reason when I am older at a game or if our son plays football for BYU)

*I was trying to take some pictures when we first got on the field but the camera was on video instead. So i do have some very poorly filmed video of Chris hi-fiving Kehl while he was on other peoples' shoulders and some other things.
