Sweet Seats!

I have several posts to catch up on, but we haven't downloaded pictures from the camera for a month or so. On December 10th, Shaun won us tickets to the USU hockey game to sit in the "sweet seats". He was just studying for finals in the student center and they were having a contest where you have to shoot a hockey puck into a hole in a board. The hole was about 6 inches off the ground. He did it! Yay Baby! They told us we got to sit on a couch and they'd serve us dinner. We were expecting a pizza or something. I was kind of nervous about going because I thought it would be awkward to sit in "special seats" and have people watch us eating but it ended up being really fun.

Two zambonis at once!

Our waiter :()) They didn't just bring us a pizza. We had a server from USU catering serving us the whole 3 hours. We had appetizers, main course, dessert, and any drinks, candy or popcorn from the concession stand we wanted. He kept bringing us stuff even when we didn't ask for anything. We were stuffed. We tried to pay attention to the game too, but we were a little distracted. I think I saw four goals out of nine made, ha ha.


Our easy chairs

Main course

We won, 6 - 3, against U of U

Dessert. We barely made a dent in it.

Thanksgiving Pies

This is kind of out of order, but oh well. Shaun and I made some of the pies for Thanksgiving at my parents' house. We made pumpkin, pecan, and apple. We made all the crusts too! I had never made crust before, and I was a little nervous because EVERYONE always talks about how hard crusts are! I was glad a few other people were bringing pies too, in case ours didn't turn out. We tried two different crust recipes, and one turned out better than the other, but they were both edible.

Yummy! Lotsa Crisco.

Hope this works....

Successfully rolled out and transferred to the pie dish!

Beautifying the edges.

Ta da! We got a few dark spots. Easily preventable by putting a piece of aluminum foil over them when the top is as done as you want, but we weren't paying attention...

Jamie made the other pies.

When you make them, you have to try them all!

My adorable cousin, Sheridan. She brought Spaghettios for her Thanksgiving dinner! Ha ha!

But she did have THREE PIECES of pumpkin pie. :) Love her!
