What a wonderful weekend

Brian and I keep saying what a wonderful weekend it has been for us. Brian had his first 4-day weekend in 5 years and we took full advantage of it.

1. Thanksgiving at our house

2. Heather & Amy's house in Portland

3. A party at a high-end grocery store (I'll explain)

4. Shopping

1. Thanksgiving at our house.

I think it was a success and hopefully our family felt that way :) We kept it pretty chill but still had tons of food. Brian and Randy deep fat fried the turkey which is just delicious. We listened to Christmas music, played with the babies, and had a wonderful time. It was a nice way to start out the holiday season.

Brian was too late to capture Bria and Bristol talking to each other, but he captured me cleaning up Bria's throw up. Those are the moments :)

The guys chilled in the living room with the babies while we prepared some dinner.

Bristol didn't want to miss out on the excitement by taking a nap, just look at those kissable cheeks!

And of course we ended the night with a nice warm bath. Bria loved it as you can tell.

2. Heather and Amy's

We headed up to Portland on Friday. We dropped Bria off while we went to see a friend's new house that he just purchased. Then we came back, had a delicious dinner that included mouth watering filet mignon, and played with Bria.

Clapping for Daddy.

Bria is so happy when she eats, she definitely loves food!

You would think Bria was screaming in these pictures but absolutely no sound comes out, she just likes to be silently animated.

And she loves to eat the water.

3. Party at Zupan's

So after we put Bria to bed on Friday, Brian and I got to go out and have a date night with Nate and Amy. Where did we go? A grocery store :) See, Heather got some tickets to a party called Bubbles After Dark. It's the owner's way of saying thank you for shopping at my store by providing free champagne and o'dourves. It was from 10 pm- 1am and only 150 couples were given tickets, we felt like big shots ;) It was a lot of fun and felt awesome to get out and spend time with friends sans a squirmy baby.

Not that we didn't miss our baby girl, but I went a couple hours without any baby throw up on me. Score!

Brian and I tried caviar (is that how you spell it?), oysters, weird but delicious cheeses, it was awesome. We even got Brian to try a chocolate covered strawberry (he doesn't like berries, I know, he's weird), but he didn't like it. At least he tried it though. They also had the most delicious oreo type cookies, they were divine. It was all so good.

We didn't stay until 1 am because we were all pretty tired, but midnight is still late for us these days.

We definitely crashed in bed that night.

4. Shopping

After we got up Saturday morning (Heather and Amy let us sleep in, it was so nice) we ventured out in the Holiday shopping. We picked up some cute clothes for Bria and a Christmas present for her. We shopped for hours and Bria did awesome, just hanging out in the Snugglie with Aunt Heather.

When it started getting dark we decided to head home.

It was such a nice weekend and it felt great to be with so much family. Bria barely spit up at all which made me think that the Prevacid was starting to work, I was ecstatic.

Then came Sunday, where she threw up all day long. Ugh. Nevermind.

But it was still a wonderful weekend and I think it's safe to say Bria enjoyed her first Thanksgiving.

Can't wait for Christmas!
