Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had two Thanksgiving celebrations this year, one at my parents and one with Derek's mom and step-dad at our house.

A few pictures from actual turkey day...




Our first picture...my uncle Butch and cousin Aaron are goofin for the camera

Our second picture...no goofin!





Then we had our second turkey day on Saturday...i cooked! I guess if you cook it breast side down(upside down) it keeps it juicier! So my bird turned out awesome! I didn't get a picture with us all at the table, but here is our wonderful meal!




All this food, and not many left overs...






Derek and Taquito cuddling on the couch...I really like this picture!







Taquito and Mom Atkinson cudding on the couch...It was such a rough day!

Then today(Sunday) we put up our Christmas tree and I decorated the house.

Our Trip to Duluth and Other Fun Weekend stuff

So once again i find myself playing catch up on our blog. So last weekend (the weekend before Thanksgiving) Derek and I went up to Duluth, we were there from Saturday to Sunday. One of his teammates on his hockey team has season tickets to the DECC because he went to school up there. He wasn't using them that weekend, so Derek bought them and off we went to cheer for the Sioux! We stayed at a very nice hotel, The Inn on Lake Superior, which was in walking distance to the DECC. We got there around 3pm and wandered around Canal Park for a bit and then had dinner at Famous Daves. Our seats were awesome and we had a really nice time even though the Siuox didn't win. There were quite a few Sioux fans that made the drive to watch as well. Here are a few pictures.

Once we got back on that Sunday, Derek had a hockey game to play in...so i took a few pictures of him out on the ice!
