Rewinding back a little we come to our House-aversary! Yeah, this was a packed week. We moved in 2 years ago! So on Tuesday we had to celebrate. The night we moved in we got Japanese take out, so every year we've gotten Asian take out to celebrate. This year we were back to Japanese (and we'll probably stay there). This was also the first year we didn't have to drive out in a snow storm to get dinner, but I'm not complaining about that!! We got some sushi to go with our dinner, and not that the food wasn't good, but the sushi was great! Turns out I really like Tempura! That was definitely the best one we got.
On Wednesday we flew out to Utah. Technically we were flying out for a wedding, but also we were flying out for Brooke's birthday!! She was so tired when we got on the plane so we hunkered down and took a nap! She slept for almost the whole flight! I slept for this whole picture!?
When we landed in Salt Lake I noticed this plane cutout and had to stop and get a picture! I thought it was great that Brooke and I got to fly a plane together. Brooke, however, just wanted to be back in her stroller.
When we got to Monica's parents house Brooke quickly took the the piano.
Then on Thursday it was Brooke's birthday. Of course Brooke got snow on her birthday, just like she called in a blizzard for her birth! We got a snow suit from Monica's sister the night before in anticipation of letting Brooke play in the snow, and good thing we did cause she loved it! Also, it's a good thing we went out when we did because the snow melted by the end of the day!
While running around getting things for the party we happened to run into the WeinerMobile! What a lucky birthday Brooke was having! She didn't get to eat there though cause it was cold out and Monica immediately ran off into the store after I took the picture.
We got Brooke a balloon for her birthday which she enjoyed playing with. It came with a clip on it so I just clipped it onto the back of her coat. It was handy because you could see where she was even behind a couch!!
That night we had a party for her with many guests. Brooke also got to eat cake! She'd reach down for the cake and spread out her hand like she was going to take a HUGE handful of it, and then just rake over the icing and lick off her fingers... She did end up eating some cake, but probably not that much when you consider the amount of frosting she had.
Then on Friday was Melanie's wedding (Monica's sister). That was the real reason we were out, but it's nice everything else lined up too. Melanie married Sarva, who if from India. His parents made Indian clothes for everyone in the family for the reception, and they're pretty awesome. Brooke looked SOOOO cute in her little dress! Here we all are together.
And here's Brooke and I dancing at the reception. Looks like Brooke is a dancer! And she stayed up WAY past her bed time. She usually goes to bed around 6-6:30, but she was at the reception until 7:30!! We had to play with her to keep her happy, but I think everyone had a great time! And congratulations and good luck to Melanie and Sarva!!
Saturday I flew back to Denver so I could go back to work. I was on a very new or newly updated plane. I've had many flights where the amenities of the plane claim that each seat has a USB port and an outlet, but this is the first time I've actually been on a plane like that. I took a picture to show Monica how high tech it all looked, and figured I'd include it here.
And with that I think we're all caught up. I hope everyone has a fantastic week and a great Thanksgiving!
p.s. Monica isn't here to proof read this... so sorry for any oddities.
