Thanksgiving Trip

I am currently blogging while flying back home from Indiana! During the "holidays" Delta is offering free on-board WiFi, and it's making this 3 hour flight (which we were just informed is delayed coming into SLC) much more tolerable.

Tony and I decided to visit my family for Thanksgiving this year, since it's the Andersons' turn for Christmas anyway. Tony had never experienced a Grandma Grey Thanksgiving, and I really believe everyone needs to have one of those. :) Thanksgiving day was really fun. I was really happy to see all of my family. There was the traditional Bingo game at my grandma grey's (which lost Tony and I five bucks!) and everything seemed to be just how it was when I left it. It was really nice, and the food was spectacular on all accounts.

Friday morning after Thanksgiving is traditionally Black Friday shopping for all of the girls on my mom's side of the family. This includes everyone from Grandma to Aunts and cousins. This year, however, my grandma couldn't make Black Friday because she was visiting my uncle who was just diagnosed with stomach cancer. My family had our own little Black Friday adventure--Tony's first one!--and it was really fun. I was so tired afterward, but it was worth it! We didn't buy a ton of stuff or get up at 2am for any "steals", we just like the tradition of going and being together as a family. Later that day, we all took a nap then headed downtown to see the Circle Tree lighting and a really good Pacers game!

At the lighting ceremony--it was COLD!

Saturday was just a day to relax. I was starting to feel sick and I think everyone was a bit tuckered out from all of the exciting days we were having. It was nice to lounge around, watch the BYU v. U game, and go to my favorite pizza place, Chicagos!

It seemed like the weekend FLEW by, but I'm glad we spent Thanksgiving with my family. They're pretty cool cats.







Oh! P.S. While I was there, I was able to announce to my family some really wonderful news!
There's a baby on it's way! I'm due June 16th, and we couldn't be more excited!
