best week(end) ever!

on thanksgiving, we woke up early to go to the zoo,
where they fed the animals a thanksgiving meal.
my brother, sister, and pseudo-brother, ian, joined us,
as well as graham’s brother, chris.







chris and ian rocked the shapkas, and even got ryker to wear one




while we sported our own weird hats




we loved watching the elephants smash the 700 lb pumpkins,


and ryker seemed to enjoy watching the red panda run around


next, we went to my dad’s family party, where ryker wore his
super cool skulls and camouflage outfit (he looks so big!)


and where ashley and chris fought like true siblings!


we then went to my mom’s family party, where ryker
chilled with his cousin kellen (my cousin’s son)


on friday, i went shopping with my siblings and parents
while ryker and graham slept in.
we had so much fun battling the crowds at target and the mall

later that day, graham completed our exercise room
by purchasing our elliptical machine.
so if you need me,i’ll be up in the gym just working on my fitness

on saturday, ryker wore his utah gear for the rivalry football game
(which didn’t go well for the utes but ryker looked great in his sweatshirt)




after our date on saturday night, graham and I went
to my parents’ house to pick up ryker.
while we were there, my brother talked us into playing a game of risk.
around 1:00 am, we decided to call it a night,
especially after we lost south america, europe, and africa.
graham and i never played risk before but ended up loving it
(does this make us geeks?)
regardless, we are going to play again with my family on
christmas eve, when i will dominate my brother

We spent all day sunday setting up christmas. the house looks amazing!
we also realized ryker’s red cheeks aren’t because he is hot,
it’s because he is getting his first tooth!

we had such a busy and great weekend.
i’m definitely ready for the christmas season!
