Thanksgiving Recap....

We had a great day celebrating Thanskgiving with Kev's side of the family. After our football game, my team lost! :( we headed to Kev's aunts for dinner. There was SO much food and of course tons of laughs. My cheesecake was a hit, thanks goodness. I had never baked anything using a spring form pan before so I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. It looked good, but couldn't tell how it tasted!! After dinner we looked at the pics from the football game, there were some hilarious ones! We also played a form of pool called "Kelley Pool" which was a lot of fun and got pretty competitive! We stayed for a while hanging out and by the time we got home, we were exhausted! I think I was in bed before 9! Here are some pics from the day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day enjoying their friends and family and remembering how much we all have to be thankful for! I know I'll take a moment to sit back and realize how truly blessed Kevin and I are.

This morning after watching some of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, a bunch of us played in our 4th annual Thanksgiving football game. It was fun and the weather was gorgeous so the layers were quickly stripped off once our un-atheltic bodies got movin'! We are headed to Kev's aunt's house for dinner and games at 1pm; we're really looking forward to a great day! I made a pumpkin cheesecake that I'm dying to taste, I'll report back on whether it was a hit or the dessert that no one touches. :)

Happy Birthday....

Butch T. Cougar says it best.....

Today is Apple Cup. The meeting of the ultimate rivals, Washington State University and University of Washington. I have sooo many incredible memories from AC during college, it was a day that showed true pride and love for WSU. This day is no different, except both teams are shall we say, "sub-par" this year. Either way, it will be a fun game and I so wish I could enjoy it with my best friends ! Instead, I'm happy watching it with my "Adopt-a-Coug" husband.

GO COUGS!!!!!

Happy Anniversary!

To Kev's parents and my in-laws, Bernie and Patty Mullin. They were married 37 years ago today! They celebrated with a two-week trip to Florida, how nice huh?! Happy Anniversary, you truly are an inspiration to us! XOXO
