Oink Piggy Oink!
I am so thankful for my family. We are incredibly crazy, but I love it. We had our traditional Thanksgiving in Henderson, NV (Vegas) this past week. We are always busy and doing something... it's great. I just love being around them even if we bite each other's heads off some of the time. Lindsay, Jake, Leslie, and I missed Tuesday's activities (bowling and pizza). I didn't get to show off my wicked bowling skills this year. Dang it. There's always next year. Wednesday was spent shopping and just hanging out. U-Swirl is yum-o.
Thursday was Thanksgiving, which consisted of ENORMOUS amounts of food. Two turkeys, double mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, jello, fruit salad, five batches of rolls (orange and plain) I love that my mom made lactose free rolls just for me. Delicious! After our meal, we watched Elf, well we actually napped through most of it, but I woke up to my brother's laughter. Such a funny movie. Then we went to Four Christmases (not my favorite). Once we got back from the movie, we went and played DODGEBALL! So fun.
We played Oink Piggy Oink... there's someone in the middle with a blindfold on (and in our case a paper bag over their head) holding a pillow. He or she is spun around and then goes to a person and says "oink piggy oink", the person with the pillow in their face must oink and the blindfolded individual has to guess who oinked. It's such a fun game. My sides hurt after playing.
We also played a character game where you write down a famous person and everyone has to guess who you are. And you build a team as you go. I almost won the last round we played... but Leslie guessed I was Samwise Gamgee. We played those games as much as we could. We didn't get up super early on Black Friday this year. We went and ate at California Pizza Kitchen, we cleaned every single plate. It snowed at Towne Square. We went to The Hoover Dam and took lots of dam pictures. 
Saturday night was spent eating at Cafe Rio (seeing Sabra from SYTYCD and the missionaries who know my friend) and the strip. We had some interesting adventures on the strip... stupid drivers, crazy outfits, and sitting in traffic. Sunday we packed up and came back to Utah with all the luggage on the roof of the jeep (good thing Jake knows what he is doing otherwise we would have lost our luggage) Luckily I got to sleep most of the way to Vegas and back to Utah. It was such a fun trip! Thank you family!

That sounds like SO much fun! I wanna get together with your family sometime. If your mom(I only met her momentarily) is anything like good ol' Sue I know I'll fit in :)!!! Food, Family, and Fun...nothing is better.
Oink piggy oink is the best. I think it was only fun with our family though... you kinda have the know the people to guess their "oinks". Hopefully I will have my thanksgiving post up soon!
Everyone wants to be in our family! That's because we just have so dang much fun!
Good luck with finals, Alli!
