Thanksgiving festivities started with a yummy meal and games at the Monsen's.
...build-a-bear, the first stop on our Tuesday play date; 
...McDonald's, the second stop for chicken nuggets and chocolate milk;
...and the University of Utah Utes, the final stop for the women's basketball game.
I was invited to Kelly's house to watch the big game with a bunch of BYU fans....well they claim BYU, but also go back and forth with rooting for the "good" play. 
It was a GREAT game for the RED.
Utah 48 BYU 24.
One of his buddies was also at the game sitting across the arena. He went to sit with friend for a little bit of the game. I pushed him out of his comfort zone, but he enjoyed himself. And of course the Utes won!
Josh and Michelle went to one of his favorite places, build a bear, last Monday for their play date...his first of five according to him each week. He of course had a blast and came home with a new friend appropriately named Santa. His antlers have Christmas lights that light up!
but it was a showdown! The Utah women's volleyball team was in action again BYU on Friday night and I was lucky enough to be in attendance at the sold out match. I haven't been to a volleyball game before and I was not disappointed. The win came down to the last match and of course Utah pulled out the win. I hope that is foreshadowing of good things to come next Saturday!
