Thanksgiving in Denver...

Tim and I just got home tonight from a week long trip to Denver, where we stayed with my cousins Byron & Melinda for Thanksgiving, and my mom and dad were out there as well to hang out with us. Then Tim and I stayed to watch the Winter Wonder Slam Tour on Sunday night, and it was a great show!

It was such a nice time--it was the epitomy of relaxing...we just sat around, enjoyed each other, ate too much, and relaxed. Each day there was no rush, we all just settled into the day, hung out...we went to downtown Denver to catch a little Christmas spirit and watch the lighting of all of their important buildings, and we shopped (just a little--for about 1 hour on 1 day, which was perfect), we went to the Aquarium...oh yeah, and we ate. I think I gained some good Holiday weight! Although I did run while I was out there...I did a tough 11 miler on Saturday, but my Dad and Byron joined me so it was much more bearable...the marathon is getting way too close for comfort!!

Saturday was particularly great because the Bulldogs beat Georgia Tech for the 6th year in a row...you know it!! It was a come from behind win-15-12!!

Tim made a new best friend, Logan, who is my 4 year old 2nd cousin, and he is amazing...he is so full of life--I wanted to bottle it up in a jar and bring it with me everywhere we go, just so I can remember him and the joy that he brings...

It was a great Thanksgiving...I have some pictures I wanted to share...

Vacation was GREAT!! It makes working hard feel well worth it to have time away with your family!!!

Hope you all had a great break!!
