Isn't she such a cutie? I just wanted to throw that in there... :)
Here's the Blackout Game fun... Utah vs. TCU! If any of you know anything about that game, you know that was not a fun day for Utah fans! But the pre-game show was pretty cool...
This was us at the beginning of the game.....
And... after the first quarter! Sad day!
Annie and her brother having fun at the game... don't they look so much alike?!
Wow... And this wasn't even the end of the game! This is when we left though.
We were still happy, not really sure why though!
This was the extent of our Thanksgiving decorations... They were our "Thankful leaves." They all said "I am thankful for..." It was a fun way to decorate and show our gratitude during the Thanksgiving season!
We had a game night with Brooke and Matt Smith, and Sara Larsen and a random guy! It was a lot of fun! We played Jenga and I just felt the need to show this picture because we all look so fantastic! If you can get past that though, look how well we were doing! 26 levels! :) Apparently REALLY good players can get to 35 levels... we couldn't figure out how that would be possible because 26 levels was pretty crazy! I was the one who finally knocked it over... it was kind of a sad moment!
On a new note... We went to California for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun! We loved having a chance to just relax and not worry about things at home like school and work! Here's our Thanksgiving dinner... YUM! It was an adventure! But we made it look good anyway!
The rest of the pictures are kind of out of order but we got to walk down to the beach from the house that we were staying at... So much fun! Here is a picture of the cousins on my dad's side... Megan, me, Nicole, and Hannah (just a little smaller group than the cousins on either side in Andrew's family! :)
We went to Laguna beach...
... and we parked a few spots away from this car! Andrew kind of freaked out a little! You can see in the background that Hannah thinks Andrew is crazy! Haha! We ran into the owner of the car on our way out... he was a meanie! But we loved his car anyway. **Note: If you ever go to Laguna Beach and park in a parking lot, make sure that you park WITHIN the lines of the parking stall! We got a parking ticket (warning) for being "parked over the lines" (I should have taken a picture but we were barely on the line AND there weren't any other parking spots on that side of us because there was a wall there... so just so you know... don't park on any lines out there!)
We also got to go to the Newport Beach Temple while we were there! It was amazing! And SO pretty!! :)
This was the view from our "suite" at the house we stayed at!
Different views of the house.This was the back yard and the house... the windows on the top floor on the left were the windows to our room.
Those stairs are the entrance to our room... you had to go outside to get up there!
And this is the view from the front.
The view from the back yard!
The group... My dad's whole side of the family (except my grandma).
We had a blast hanging out with my family and spending time in California! Thanks Aunt Nancy for all the pictures! And thanks so much to Grace for letting us stay at our house with her! WE loved it!
