A Very Thankful Thanksgiving

After a busy trip to Fort Collins, catching up on laundry, getting back to work, Geoff getting sick, then I got sick.... I am finally able to blog about our Thanksgiving!! Geoff and I were very excited to get to spend Thanksgiving with his brother Doug and family.  Plus who doesn't love a trip to the mountains?!?! I was excited as well since this was my first Thanksgiving as a Karhoff!  As usual, we spent Thanksgiving day feasting on all sorts of yummy foods and watching the Lion's, unfortunately but typically, lose to the Packers.  And of course a couple of naps were had by most all.  That evening, Amber and I headed out to Toys R Us to score some sweet deals on Black Friday Sales for the kiddos.  And thankfully, they opened at 9pm so we could go shopping and come home to sleep!

Friday was a super exciting day.  We decided to take off and go up to Estes Park and look around since Geoff and I had never been there.  It was absolutely gorgeous.  We both said that we are definitely going to live there some day! Unfortunately it was super crowded for the Christmas Light Parade and really cold.  So we said we will plan better next year and go watch the parade.  Then it was time to take off to head to Denver to eat at Casa Bonita!!! I had never eaten at Casa Bonita so I was super pumped, and let me say, it did not let me down!  It was totally awesome. 

Saturday we went to Downtown Fort Collins to go ice skating!!! I love ice skating, Geoff on the other hand, not so much.  So I was really happy to have a chance to go with Amber and Raegen.  The boys decided they would just watch and swap manly stories.  That evening I got to go with Amber and Raegen to a dinner theater to see White Christmas.  It was fantastic but nothing beats Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby.  Plus our very flamboyant waiter, Ryan, was also in the chorus and he truly thought he was the star.  We all had a great time enjoying his facials, and he was Raegan's favorite character!

Geoff and I loved our visit and are looking forward to making this a yearly tradition!  Here are a few highlights from our trip:
