A Bama thanksgiving


There's nothing like enjoying 70 degrees Thanksgiving weekend. 

We had such a fun Thanksgiving... minus the flights. 

It took Aar and I 12 hours to get to Birmingham, not fun. 

We flew from SLC>Phoenix>Charlotte>Birmingham through the night and into the morning. I was pretty ornery by the time we made it to Charlotte. And by the time my parents picked us up in the morning, they decided it was best not to talk to a seat full of sleep deprived grumpy kids haha. 
Luckily we perked back up pretty quickly and Aaron, Spence and our friend Jake played at the ward Turkey Bowl for hours. 

We made it home and my dad made crepes for us all. 

Swiss cheese, ham, nutella, raspberries and more.... so good. 

Showers, naps and games continued until we were off to dinner at our traditional place: Ross Bridge. 
Peppermint shakes and red velvet cheesecake was some of our favorites.

But the turkey, stuff and potatoes was pretty great too!

It's so hard to get him to take a picture, let alone with a normal smile....

After dinner we played Scum for a few hours before Spence and my Dad went Black Friday shopping.

I love the way we do it- leave at 11 or midnight, after all the crazies have hit. We always go to the outlets, and this year, the weather was perfectly warm. We hit JCrew, Charming Charlie, Tommy Hilfiger, Banana Republic and more. It's so hard not to get carried away.

We woke in the morning and the day seemed so long. It was still Friday! We did so more shopping, ate some BBQ and saw Mockingjay.

Saturday we were off to Atlanta to watch David's team the Bulldogs.




Perfect weather and great seats.

And they won!

Also, my Dad noticed Georgetown Cupcakes opened in Atlanta. We trekked all the way across town just to get cupcakes. They are the absolute best cupcakes we've ever head, and so worth the trip!
We wrapped the night up with the best snow cones- juicy fruit and strawberry daq, psych!(a new game on your app, similar to balderdash, so funny!), more scum, cookies and pie.
It was such a great trip. 

Now back to life of trying to sell the house, budgeting, cleaning and all that fun stuff.
