Due to the lack of my blogging, I'm finally sitting down before my internship starts in Dallas and updating the past few months or better said "Our Holiday Adventures".
THANKSGIVING
For Thanksgiving, we took a week long break to see Erin's family in Bellevue, WA. The excitement of the trip was making our trip a surprise for everyone. Our stay included dropping by Pike's Place for chocolate linguini, relaxing with the family and playing fun games (i.e. Blokus, Pounce, Scattergories). Another highlight was Erin learning how to make toffee, not good for our health but tastes delicious. On Thanksgiving Day, we went over to Aunt Sabrina's house and had a great time with all the family in Seattle. The trip was a well needed break for us away from Provo. Below are some pictures:
