Thanksgiving

Back in the summer, Garrick and I decided it'd be fun to spend Thanksgiving in Colorado. So we started making plans and saw that the Lion King on Broadway was going to be playing while we'd be there! So we quickly bought tickets and then convinced Kayla that she should come with us.

This was Garrick's first Broadway show, and I wanted him to love it. We bought slightly more expensive tickets so that we could be super close to the stage, we were literally 4 rows back! I had never been that close before and it was so cool! The costumes were amazing and we were right next to the guy playing the drums. Needless to say, it was a pretty amazing show. It was also pretty fun driving around Denver, we've flown into that airport a million times but had never seen the city. 
My best friend, Shanon also happened to be living in Denver so we got to see her! It was so fun seeing her all grown up, living on her own in the big city. She is interning with the Denver Broncos marketing department, no big deal...
The rest of our break consisted of hanging out with Skybekah and their cute kiddos. Jace is the sweetest baby ever, he made me super baby hungry! McKay and Alicia are too cute and we had a lot of fun playing with them.  
Watching Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving movie.

Jace has SO MUCH HAIR. I could not believe it. I had fun playing with it. Here's his man bun.
It's not Thanksgiving without watching the Macy's Day Parade!
Another thing you might not know about Garrick is that he LOVES to bake and cook. So during the break he thought of all of the recipes he wanted to make. Here is the table of desserts after our Thanksgiving feast. He was pretty proud of all his desserts. They were delicious! 
The best part about the break was definitely playing games with Skyler and Rebekah. They always introduce us to awesome new games! Loot, Set, and Settlers of Catan were some of the games we played together. The break came and went far too quickly. We were really sad to leave Colorado and make the treacherous journey back to Provo (it was terrifying driving back through mountains and in blizzards!) But we're so glad we were able to come to Colorado for a few days to relax and be around family. Thanks for the good times Skybekah!!
