Our Thanksgiving weekend started out on Wednesday morning as we drove with my parents to L.A. to spend Thanksgiving with our family AND friends. We had a FABULOUS turkey meal put on by my mom and dad at my grandma's house. My dad BBQ'd the turkey for several hours all morning and it was the best tasting turkey... (and I don't even really like turkey!) Phil said it made the best gravy as well.
That morning before we ate, Phil and I were able to drive down to Fullerton where some of our best friends, the Barneys, live. Phil went and played in a Turkey Bowl with Royce and AubRee's brothers and I stayed and chatted with AubRee and her mom (Bruin's future mother-in-law)... Yes, we have already betrothed the two of them. Bruin is almost as big as her already! haha what a chunk! That and Grace is such a petite little cutie.
The day after Thanksgiving we did not brave Black Friday, although Phil was really wanting to and looked at ads all evening. Instead we hung out with my Uncle Chris and his wife Linda and BBQ'd and hottubbed. Let me tell you what a treat it was to get in a hottub after a whole year of not being allowed to!! Woohoo! My mom watched Bruin while we soaked in heaven.
Afterwards we met up with Royce and AubRee again and went mini-golfing at this awesome Camelot place. I stunk it up, but Phil barely beat out Royce and AubRee in the end. AubRee was very impressive with her skills! Bruin just hung out on Phil's back the whole time.
He was such a good boy, until he got a little tired at the end which is understandable. He was tuckered out in the car and snored away most of the rest of the night.
Saturday we traveled home, stopping by my uncle's Christmas tree lot and picked up trees for all of us. We were sooo excited to get our first Christmas tree! Saturday night we went shopping for Christmas tree decorations and then last night Phil and I decorated it after Bruin went to sleep. It was so fun!
I love having a lit up tree in my living room, it makes me so happy! When we got up this morning with Bruin we got to come out to a shining tree and it made getting up at 6:45 less awful :)

That was really funny about the betrothal, I am glad you and Phil and Royce and AubRee can be such good friends! It helps to make being away from home a little easier I think. (this is from the future grandma I guess)
