On November 20th Steve and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. We went out to dinner and to see a movie. My mom gave us a night off and watched Conner, he slept over there for his second sleepover. It was fun to be able to stay out late and not worry about getting Conner to bed. On Thanksgiving day while most people were smelling a wonderful turkey cooking I was smelling antlers being boiled. Yuck! Steve decided that he was finally going to prep all his deer antlers so he could mount them. After that we went to my mom's house for dinner. It was SO good. My sister Debbie tried a new recipe with the sweet potatoes. She got it from the restaurant, Ruth's Chris. They were the best I am going to make them again in a couple months. After dinner my mom, my sister Debbie, both of my grandma's as well as myself put a puzzle together. I love puzzles as long as they aren't too hard. After spending time with my family we then went to Steve's parent's house and visited for a while. On Friday Steve brought home a Christmas tree. We have always cut ours down but I have been wanting a fake one for a while. So Steve surprised me with saying, "I cut down a tree." (From Wal-Mart). Friday night, Debbie and Garen invited us to dinner at the Alpine Country Club. It was really nice and fun to try some new things. It was a buffet with, sushi, crab legs, veal, filet mignon, alligator tail sandwiches, bison, duck, and then your regular stuff, ribs, chicken etc. The dessert bar was unbelievable. On Saturday we went to the BYU game. Steve and I had so much fun with each other. I saw one of my good friends who I hadn't seen in forever, MaRin Andrus. We had two hardcore Ute fans next to us and a group of huge BYU fans on the other side of us. I guess they had been giving each other looks throughout the game and out of the blue during the fourth quarter Utah scored and the Ute fan jumps up flips the BYU fan off with both hands and yells a strong swear word at him. So that hurt the mood of the game for a little while. But overall way fun! Immediately following we met up with Steve's family for a Gray Family Reunion. We missed the dinner but caught up with them at the swimming pool. Now it is time for the picture overload!

This was right after we got the tree put up. I was so excited for Conner, his first Christmas tree.

It was insane how many people ran onto the field after the fame.Here is a video of the latest book I made.

That is cool that you got to go to the big game. Stupid that the Ute fan acted that way- I think it is SO STUPID that people get THAT competitive about it. And, I'm Glad you had a good Thanksgiving!
That picture of Connor in Dad's shoes is so dang cute.
