Thanksgiving Weekend

We had an enjoyable and busy Thanksgiving weekend. We ate Thanksgiving dinner with my mom's side of the family in Salt Lake City Thursday afternoon. We ate some dessert with them too. Then we drove down to Murray to have some more pie with my dad's side of the family. We felt quite full after that.

Friday we hung out in Orem with my immediate family, and then that evening we drove back up to Salt Lake to celebrate my grandpa's birthday. We had another very large meal involving lots of delicious food and some leftover dressing from the day before. (My mom and a couple other people made several recipes worth of dressing for Thanksgiving. However, my grandma, not knowing so many people had been assigned to make dressing, was afraid there wouldn't be enough and made a few more batches to bring as well. Consequently, we were swimming in dressing.)

Saturday morning was particularly fun. We met up with Nate's old roommates and their significant others for a morning of racquetball at the Orem Rec Center.

Here I am playing a game against Hailey.

I have improved at racquetball so much since I first started playing. Now racquetball is one of my favorite sports. Nate and I are pretty fortunate to have access to racquetball courts so we can play and practice regularly.

After racquetball we headed to the nearest Subway for some lunch. Man were we hungry!

Saturday afternoon we visited the Springville Museum of Art to see the religious show. As usual, there were some really nice pieces and some really strange ones.

After visiting the museum we went to visit Nate's extended family. They always have a Thanksgiving dinner a day or two after Thanksgiving because everyone is with other family on Thanksgiving day. Only this year, we also were celebrating Nate's grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary. So, we congratulated them and ate another very large dinner.
