Day 25!

1. A nice night out with my husband. He's going to be out of town for our anniversary in two weeks so we took this opportunity to have my parents watch Piper so we could go out. He is so sweet to me. I love him and the wonderful nine years we've had together. I'm grateful to my parents for watching Piper too.

2. Preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow with my mom. It was fun to make Waldorf salad together and cut vegetables for dinner. We didn't cook together too much growing up since my dad did most of the cooking. She's taken up trying more recipes these days and she's a dynamite cook.

3. My brother Mark. Today is his 40th birthday! He is a great brother to me and I appreciate his example so much. I'm grateful that he and I were in the same ward and got to socialize together when we were both still single. I got to know him better and I'm proud to be his sister.

4. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We're having just a small get-together with our family, my parents and my nephew, his wife, and their little girl. There will be lots of excellent food and fun times. Yum yum.

5. Naptimes. Piper was testing our patience on the way to In & Out whining about how hungry she was. The irony was that she barely ate anything once we got there. She proceeded to fall asleep on the drive home and slept for two hours.


EXTRA: Cafe Rio is coming to L.A. Rick says that we don't need to go to Utah or Idaho ever again now. He was kidding of course but it will be awesome to have Cafe Rio regardless of who we're visiting family-wise.
