We had the best Thanksgiving this year! Jake and I baked most of Wednesday and then woke up early Thursday to finish our projects. We hit the road around nine to head to SLC. From the time we arrived at Bullocks until the time we left Brilee was the hit of the party! She handled all the attention very well, and even with a little cold was able to have a GREAT weekend. Cathy (and everyone else) made an amazing Thanksgiving Dinner. It was so fun to be able to eat a wonderful meal while visiting with the people we love. After dinner was ate and cleaned we went to Grandma and Grandpa's condo for pie. Again, we had a great time and loved being able to just hang out and relax. Stac, Amy, and I were feeling good after pie and decided to try a few Black Friday sales (I am so happy Amy taught me the actual meaning of the term Black Friday). This was one BIG mistake! When we arrived at the mall at 9:00 PM the security man was directing traffic to parking spots. Our first shop was Build A Bear. Stacia made the first bear of the night! We had a great time in Build A Bear and decided to try Victoria Secret. WHAT A MISTAKE! As Amy said "Do not get in between women and their underwear." The line went out the door and was moving SLOWLY! We felt so overwhelmed that we just ran out of the store. We went to two more stores and they were equally as busy as VS so we left the mall. We made a vow to never go back to Black Friday sales! We woke up early Friday morning so Jake could go snowboarding with Del, Tom, and Michael. While the boys were snowboarding Brilee napped with Aunt Cathy and the rest of us went to Costco. I LOVE shopping at Costco with Amy. After Costco we went back to the Bullock's and played games and played with Brilee. The Cooley's came over and it was so great to see them. The boys finally got home and I went to find Jake outside. He could barely move and said his elbow was hurt. We started watching it swell and bruise. We took off soon after the boys got back and on our way to Heber Jake was getting sick because of the pain. We stopped and got some ice, Advil, and water and that helped him make it home. He could barely move Saturday but today is starting to feel a little better. We spent Saturday at my parents house watching football and eating sushi. We went and got a Christmas tree this morning (this will be a separate post) and came home and laid Brilee down for her nap. She is sound asleep three hours later! We had a very busy weekend and to top it all off Brilee got two new teeth.
This is right after we got to Bullock's. Brilee was a very happy baby!
Love these girls!

I can't wait for Brilee to get her bear from Aunt Stacia.

Hanging with Grandma and Aunt Amy.
I loved hearing all Ryann's stories.
Brilee got to take a bath in Aunt Cathy's tub. She LOVED it!
This is Brilee's new favorite thing to do at Grandma Dickson's house.
