Thanksgiving (Part 2)

So I guess since it's Christmas Eve, it's about time to write about Thanksgiving. So the day after I drove home (I got to go home on Monday night, which was SO nice!), there was a gigantic blizzard. Everyone in Salt Lake downplayed it a lot (because honestly, there wasn't much of a tangible blizzard) but in the Logan area I guess it was awful, so I'm really glad I missed it.

So I got to be home for a few days before partaking of the divinity that is my mother's Thanksgiving dinner. I was so excited for the food and the lovely company that I never took pictures of the finished product... But here's a picture of the best mashed potatoes EVER (mid-production):
It was really fun having some of the Mumford and Healy clans over to join in the festivities. Dinner was fantastic and it was fun to hang out after. The next day, we all went to see "Tangled." It was hilarious though, because they started showing the wrong movie. We were all sitting there, the theater full of CHILDREN, and they started showing previews for creepy, violent, R-rated movies like "True Grit" and "The Black Swan." Then "Love and Other Drugs" started playing. It took everyone a minute to figure out what was going on, then all the parents started covering their children's eyes and I'm pretty sure at some point I yelled, "Shield your children!" Someone went out and told them the wrong reel was playing and they turned on the right movie. It was pretty hilarious.

Then over the weekend we got to go to the Utah v. BYU football game! It was so much fun. It was bloody cold, but we had a great time... Especially since we won :)

Here we are all decked out in our U stuff.

The final score

Welp, that pretty much sums up Thanksgiving! I'd say it was a success.
