Before heading out for our Thanksgiving break on the west side of Washington we had been watching Prada's boyfriend, Elwood. Prada was sad to see him leave, literally. She whinned after Elwood and Chloe were picked up.

Thursday morning on Thanksgiving we began our trip to the west side of Washington to visit both our parents. We had contemplated whether or not to go because of the blizzard. Although the west side was not a problem Andrea was concerned about the roads heading out. We decided it should be okay and headed out, and it really was not too bad. Andrea's dad had just returned from England the night before and was able to join us for dinner. We had dinner at Jason's parents. However, Andrea's mom and dad joined us for Thanksgiving dinner.

On black friday we were not the crazy shoppers standing in line at 4 am. Instead we slept in until 9:00 AM and then went to the mall only to complete our Christmas list. We shopped for a couple hours and met up with Andrea's parents for pizza. Shortly after that we spent some time with our friend T.J. and Mallory who traveled home for 23 hours. Later that night we had dinner with them and our other friend Evan and his girlfriend Stephanie. Even after Thanksgiving dinner, pizza, and a steak from Black Angus Jason managed to loose weight!

Saturday we drove up to Seattle with Evan and Stephanie and spent the day there. Everyone in Washington seemed to be there that day, it was crazy! It was Stephanies first time in Seattle so we went around the Space Needle, Pikes Market, enjoyed the waterfront, and an under ground tour of Seattle before heading back to the parents. Incredibly Andrea did not shop!

Prada was not thrilled about us being in and out of the house. Our parents were constant baby sitters and told us all about how she whinned when she realized we were not home. What a brat!

Sunday was our last day on the rainy west side of Washington. It was also one of our earliest mornings. We had to be at Andrea's parents home by 7:30 AM. We got to see her sister's new apartment. Then got new phones! Our phones were really showing its age so it was great timing for new phones. We all got matching phones, not even different colors. Lets hope we don't mix anything up. Before heading home we ate breakfast at the Old Country Buffet. The roads back home were much better, no snow on the roads at all. Probably because everyone in the world was heading home the same day. It took much longer to get home just because the last half hour. The stop light to turn into town held up the line clear to Colfax. We were moving inch by inch. Finally we got home!

One of the first things Andrea did when coming home was taking down the Thanksgiving decor and setting up all the Christmas decor. She even wrapped all the presents we bought over the weekend. Our home is ready for the Christmas holidays!

We really needed this Thanksgiving break. Tomorow we go back to school and work.
