weekend recap

this past weekend was so much fun. jared's family was in town to celebrate an early thanksgiving and we had such a great time!  here's a short recap:

friday:  jared took the day off and installed our new blinds and christmas lights.  both look great.  we went to dinner at cosi and then headed to wicked at the civic center. it was the second time i've seen the musical and i just love it.  the music was fantastic and after elphaba sang defying gravity, i could have gone home, it almost brought me to tears.

saturday:  we watched the hawks get a win on the road, did some shopping and celebrated thanksgiving with a delicious meal.  we had turkey and all the traditional fixings including a homemade pumpkin pie.

sunday: church, jethro's and the iowa basketball game.  even though the hawks got smoked, we still had a fun time cheering them on at wells fargo.

snacks for the iowa game including shrimp cocktail, spin dip and veggies

the beautiful turkey

turkey, brussles sprouts, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, green bean casserole and rolls with homemade jam
