Thanksgiving

We had a wednesday Thanksgiving with the Justice family.

Taylor had to finish some school and research before we went over.

Taylor hard at work with the microglia.

The microscope and drug pushes.

 

The plated mice retinas Taylor used for his experiment.

We set up our new tent in the basement:

We were shocked with how much room the tent took up...

Our hinge door!

Wow!  Much bigger than we had realized!

Peek-a-boo!

Dinner #1!

Inaugural Movie Tradition!

Mexican Train Dominoes!

Thursday Thanksgiving #2 with the Drake side:

We had Thanksgiving dinner with Mike, Michelle, DeMarie, Lorien, and Parker.

And then we watched Elf.

But we just couldn't resist Black Friday Thursday?

Mr. Saves-a-lot is as happy as can be! Is he a man or what?

My new (and completely adorable) snow boots.  Last ones of the doorbuster sale!

My new designer coat, pants, and boots (tag still attached).  

An idea of why we like Black Friday Thursday.  We felt like we were stealing... 

Girls' Time Out

I had fun with my Mom and sister while Taylor was at school and my Dad was at work.  We did lots of stuff like: 

Jewelry!

Eating Out!

We All Go To The Bathroom Together Trip Pic!

A Play!

And then Carlie and my Mom came to our apartment.

And watched me make a chili crock pot for Taylor's dinner.

I got to show off my work out equipment, Carlie liked taking a "nap" on our daybed, and we all went for a hike up in the mountains.

Tannin was wary of new faces and voices for a bit.  But she loved showing off eating a cricket and fat worms for them!

Tay got home earlier than expected and talked with us and Tannin for a bit too.

Then I drove to SoJo to make some pumpkin pies!

Thanksgiving Festivities

Carlie came up from Texas!!!

We went to Provo to see our old stomping grounds.

Taylor came with.....somewhat reluctantly.

 I had to cover up his UofU ID for the pic....

We enjoyed "us." some JDawgs.....poor Seth wasn't there.

Then Taylor and I took my parents and Carlie out on a "date" to Gardner Village to find elves.

Paparazzi always trying to get a picture of my hottie!

Say Cheese!

 I won a free Christmas platter!

Taylor and I won the Kiss Contest...we always win that contest, no biggy. 

Didn't even know we were in one! 

Then we came home and warmed up some hot apple cider and donuts!

And Tannin thought, "I'll skip the hot apple cider and donuts and settle for some crickets!"

"Stupid glass."

"Oh! Crickets!"

"Imma stalk you!"

November Catch Up

November is almost done!  It's gone so fast!

I wanted to share these better photos of Taylor and I in our costumes from Oct 31st.

We got our Drake family pictures back too!

He's a hottie!

Sometimes I go to physical therapy and then straight to work meetings, and I look like this at the meetings because they draw on my face to show my problem areas...haha!

Taylor aced his final rescue exam....and got fake blood on his pants so I had to wash them....It's like when I come home from work with real blood on my scrubs, and the first thing I do it put hydrogen peroxide on it and wash it.  But this one turned the water very pink!

I'm glad I've never had that much real blood on me!  Yuck!
