Thanksgiving

John and I went to California for Thanksgiving and we were able to see both of our families while we were there. I headed out a few days before John since he was still in school. While I was there Danielle and Stephanie threw me a baby shower! It was fun and I now feel fully prepared for our baby to come, which is a good thing since he comes in four weeks! Thanks Steph and Danielle, and of course Terilyn and Dana for hosting it at their house!

When John flew out, after his classes ended, we went up to Walnut Creek to see his family! We went to a car show in San Francisco, the De Young Museum, and played lots of fun games. We also went to Fentons, which if you've seen the movie "Up" then you would recognize Fentons as the ice cream place where the old man and the young boy get ice cream at the very end of the movie. The ice cream was so good and HUGE; John and I shared an ice cream sundae and we couldn't finish it. That tells you how big it was especially if you know how much I love ice cream!

Thanksgiving day was spent in Saratoga with my family. John played in the yearly "Turkey Bowl" and then we went to my grandparents' house for dinner.

That night we went to "Tangled", which I would recommend. It was a cute movie. We had such a fun trip! We always love being home and seeing our families. We can't wait until we see everyone again (which happily is in two weeks for my cousin's wedding)!!!
