Eventful Weekend

Last weekend was probably the most action packed weekend we've had in quite some time! But it was so fabulous. Thursday night we hit up Sammy's to get some delicious Pie Shakes and fresh cut fries. Always a good time with the Perdues. Love them.

Then Friday morning, Ryan went with me to set up my little table at the Bijou Market. I've been preparing for this ever since the day I started making these little boots (September 1st to be exact). It took a lot of thought and preparation to make sure that I had enough stock for this market. It was so tough to keep up with orders and make extras. But I did it. I came with 48 pairs, and left with on 26! I call it a success. It was so much fun to be apart of something like this. There were such other cute items the other vendors had created. 

Friday night, we ate at Guru's Ry's family, then Ryan and I went to "White Christmas", a fun musical that BYU performed. It had such great dance numbers, all of the singers had amazing voices, and we really had a blast. If you've ever seen this play, or the movie, you know that at the very end they do indeed get snow on Christmas day - then we walk outside to a completely snowy night. It was so thick - huge flakes, we could hardly see. We laughed, giggled and ran through the snow. It was such a fun date night. Ry's sister Jane Anne and her husband Colby also came in town, so it was fun to spend the weekend and all of the exciting festivities with them.

Saturday we went to a matinee of "Vocal Point" - an singing/dancing/entertaining/awesome group from BYU. They were on the latest season of the Sing Off, and recently kicked off. They were such a blast. It's one of those shows where everyone is just smiling the entire time. 

After we picked up the remaining boots from the market, we relaxed for a few hours before we got all bundled up for the 8 PM BYU football game. It was freezing, but we were definitely prepared. We may or may not have brought our own chocolate milk - don't tell. We stayed until the 3rd quarter, and then decided it was late enough, cold enough, and the Cougs were going to pull out with the win.   

My goodness. Just writing this post made me exhausted. I'm excited for the nice relaxing, Thanksgiving weekend we have up in Park City this week!

Happy Birthday Dinner

Ryan's birthday this year is the same day as Thanksgiving. So we wanted to make sure that he got his birthday dinner, a dinner with everything that he wanted, everything made just for him. So we feasted. Even though Thanksgiving is in just a few days, we feasted. We had grilled steak and chicken, grille peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and pineapple. The most delicious spinach salad (cottage cheese, Swiss cheese, bacon, tomatoes, and homemade poppy seed dressing). Yummy rolls (frozen rolls with butter and brown sugar). Big fruit salad (bananas, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, pineapple and Honey Crisp apples). Pecan pie, Banana cream pie, and chocolate cake. Good thing we had Bob, Sue, Josh, Jane Anne, Colby and Grandma Jean and John there to help us eat it all!

Bijou Market

My little baby boots are going to be at the.....

It's tomorrow from 10-8 and Saturday from 10-5. Come check it out! There are lots of fun items, just in time for Christmas gift shopping! 

The Bean Museum

This afternoon we went to the Bean Museum at BYU. Auntie Jen came with us too! Livy is at such a fun age, she absolutely LOVES animals. She could watch animals on the TV, in books, or at Sarge for hours. She loved the zoo a few weeks ago, so I knew this would be a success. 

I don't know if she knew much of a difference between the animals at the zoo and the animals at the museum, haha. She probably liked the museum animals more because she could get as close as she wanted to and they weren't moving, or sleeping in some corner. She loved to point at them, giggle, and growl. Boy can she growl.  We had a lot of fun, we'll have to go again soon. 

Basketball Now in Session

Livy got to go to her first BYU Basketball game a few weeks ago. She LOVED it when the lights all went out, and the spotlight went all around the arena. She kept pointing, and "oooing". She clapped every time that everyone else clapped (even if it was for the other team). She would watch the ball and the players go up and down the court. She only lasted about the first half, since the game began at 7, which is also her bedtime. She has since been to another game already.

Without the Babe

We love Livy. But we love a nice night out without her too. Ry brought home some pretty Spider Mums (my favorite), Auntie Jen came to watch Livy, we went to Macaroni Grill, had a delicious meal, and walked around Riverwoods. We finished the night off with a yummy caramel apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Livy was an angel for her Auntie. It was a successful date night.
