My first Thanksgiving

Well, my first proper Thanksgiving was certainly not the 'normal' thing I thought it would be... from sushi, to beach outings to chilling in the sun!

A normal thanksgiving involves a lot of cooked food, turkey, veggies, potatoes, desserts... we decided to have sushi because neither Jason's mum nor I wanted to slave for hours cooking a great big Christmas-like-dinner!

Then once we were done with our food we met up with Jesi and
Ryan at the beach! How spends Thanksgiving on the beach...
only in Southern California! We hung out at the beach for a
while with Ryan's dad and sisters, ate some good snacks and
played 'football'. It was fun.

A trip to the snow

Last weekend Jason and I went to a big ski resort called Mammouth with some of our church group. We were lucky enough to stay at a friends family lodge while we were there. we arrived late Friday night and enjoyed a weekend which included a walk in the snow, lots of games, and good food and company.
