Family, Food & Fun

Due to my slackingness in blogging this may be a long post.

Where to begin. I flew home last Monday night. Breaks where I fly are my favorite because I always get Starbucks at the airport. Went for a Peppermint Hot Chocolate for the flight home. Then at home on Wednesday while Barrett was slinging the pigskin with a few friends from high school I proceeded to make my second Starbucks run, settling for a Carmel Brulee Steamer. After multiple failed attempts to take a selfie, Barrett graciously took this sad pic that made us almost cry since we missed Lauren so much (hence, empty spot between us left open).

Thursday we went to my Auntie Anne's house for Thanksgiving. Here she is with my mom :) Cute matching sisters.

Yum. Highlights include: Barrett getting a personal shout out during the blessing of the food, hanging out with my dad a lot while avoiding RockBand, eating cherry, apple, and chocolate chip pie, and my mom making two servings of Becker Beans so I didn't even have to battle my cousin Lindsey for the last helping.

Well I guess not too long of a post just a lot of pictures. A perfect week overall. I got to see my family, best friends Liz and Jackie, read, and rest. We finished up our trip without any desire to ever eat again after making sure to hit Barrett's favorite restaruant in Littleton, Empress of China, as well as my favorite restaurant, Dino's Pizza (I get spaghetti). I did, however, grab my final Starbucks of the trip (carmel steamer) when we arrived back in the Salt Lake Airport.

I would like to note that I had a giftcard to Starbucks and would not otherwise waste my money.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!!

Those restaurant's are family urban favorites!!! We ONLY get chinese from Empress AND my parents first date was at Dino's pizza.

And, your post made me want starbucks. But I don't have a giftcard so you are also helping me overcome the craving. thanks.
