Thanksgiving Weekend

We are so thankful for David's grandparents living in Colorado Springs. They invited us down to share a yummy turkey "lunner", as I call it. It was such a fun day for David and I to take a break in the middle of the week and spend some good quality time together.

We woke up and immediately took Lylah for a good long walk. Since not many people were on the trail yet [i guess everyone was cooking] we decided to see how Lylah did off of her leash. I mean, she basically stays right by us anyways. She did fantastic! She is literally the best dog ever. Lylah knows that we are the "alpha males" and her masters, and she is so obedient. She never let us get too far away before she ran up and walked right next to us. We just love our Lylah girl.

Then we headed home to quickly get ready and jet off to "the Springs" [as Coloradans call it]. We had fun dancing, singing, and talking the whole way down. When we got to Grandpa Bob and Grandma Mary's, David's Uncle Chris, his two sons and their girlfriends, and Mary's two kids were there (David's step-uncle and step-aunt…?). We got to chat with all of them for about an hour, then Chris and his sons, and their girlfriends, headed off to enjoy their turkey meals elsewhere. We chatted with the other (step) uncle and aunt until the meal was cooked. It was delicious. Green bean casserole is seriously one of my favorite things. I probably had 3 servings of that alone. Sorry I'm not sorry.

We headed back to our apartment around 4, picked up a Redbox, and relaxed on our couch with our sweet fur babies. I had to work on Friday, lucky me. However, I was put in the infant room, where I got to love on sweet babies (who weren't even walking yet) all day. It was a great change of pace. And, I got paid for 8 hours and only worked 6.5. When I got home, we walked Lylah, off leash again, then ran off to watch Catching Fire. Loved it! Definitely a win in my book.

Today we took Lylah to the dog park again. Poor baby got beat up by a boxer, literally. This dog just "punched" the mess out of our baby girl. And for some reason, all of the big dogs love to swarm her, which terrifies her. She does fine if just one dog comes up, but 5? Really? I guess that's what you get with pack animals. Overall, Lylah had fun, minus the boxer.

This has been a relaxing, fun Thanksgiving. It has been different than other. Our first one away from our immediate family. But, our first one as a married couple. I have loved the quality time that I have gotten to spend with my husband. I also love that having Lylah makes us get out of the house and enjoy the beautiful trail behind our apartment, and some fresh air. She has only been a positive addition to our lives, with no stress.

Here's some pictures from our walk today! Enjoy!

Some of the scenery from our walk. So beautiful. 

Sweet Lylah girl. There's still some snow on the ground!

I just love walking with these two!
