last week was pretty interesting with thanksgiving. jason and i went to a total of three houses for the festive holiday. a holidays that is surrounded by a big turkey isn't really my thing so i made mushroom gravy and mac and cheese to bring along with me to each destination. our first stop was in portland to my grandparents williams's house. we didn't eat there but we hung out with my grandparents and that side of the family who we don't see often enough. then we went to gresham to my mom's parents house for dinner with that side of the family. we were there until 5 and then drove only about 5 minutes to jason's aunt and uncles house where we spent the rest of the night.

friday i got up and went to a special barre bootcamp class at 8 and then in the afternoon we headed off to seattle to see dave, hannah, and joey. this was the first time coop has been up there and the longest time he's been in a car. but the little guy did great, he slept the entire time there and back. he didn't so much enjoy his new cousin but toward the end of the week he was warming up. dave dvr'd the civil war game she we all watched it together. my beavs came close but sadly the ducks won by one point. (secretly i wanted the ducks to win so dave and jason wouldn't be in bad moods the whole weekend).

hannah and i got up saturday and did barre3 and then got some delicious juices next door. and the nice lady educated us on ginger (the root not lovely red heads) and how a lot of the skins of veggies and fruits have the most nutrients. we had late lunch at redhook brewery which was delicious and i loved my spicy bloody mary. and then we went out to a couple bars and hung out with dave and hannah's friends.

the intent was to get up early and head back to portland so we didn't have to drive in the dark but staying up until 2 am makes waking up before noon very difficult. finally coop said goodbye (and good riddance) to joey and we head back home with a quick stop at the french bakery for a croissant and brioche. we made it back home around 6 and crashed, tired from the long rainy car ride home.
