10:00am-11:00am

Luis: Well we started off the day with a delicious breakfast with the Rogers, before Spencer headed off to work.

Natalia: It wasn’t all perfect the way I wanted it to be, but everyone ate everything so I guess all was well.

Luis: And so begins my wife’s perfectionism-induced modesty…

11:00am-12:00pm

Natalia: It thoroughly amazes me that any second of downtime we are given, Luis and I always RUN to our computers.

Luis: While this is very very true, I was in the middle of finishing a favor for Sherry. It was done lickety-split!




12:00pm-1:00pm

Luis: We’re cruising down I-15 to Kaysville for the Redd Family Thanksgiving extravaganza!

Natalia: You have no idea how difficult it is to get a decent picture in the car.




1:00pm-2:00pm

Natalia: We finally arrived at the Redd residence for a fabulous meal.

Luis: Brent Redd himself, opening the door upon our momentous arrival! (shoutout, sm)




2:00pm-3:00pm

Luis: Pre-eating countdown.

Natalia: This is the part where Luis and Brent were being entertained by Brent’s nephew.




3:00pm-4:00pm

Natalia: This is me focusing too hard on trying to not have a double chin in front of my piles of food.

Luis: I really had to restrain myself in an effort to save some appetite for the Rogers Thanksgiving later that evening…




4:00pm-5:00pm

Luis: Returning back to Provo.

Natalia: I’m so glad you can’t see that I’m singing girly music at the top of my lungs.




5:00pm-6:00pm

Natalia: Oh, if I’d only known how so not worth the trouble these pies were going to be…

Luis: …Tell me about it… (perfectionism)




6:00pm-7:00pm

Luis: Here I am, updating our Thanksgiving Day adventure thus far..

Natalia: This is all he thought about all day…




7:00pm-8:00pm

Natalia: Thanksgiving dinner (round 2) at “La Maison Rojay.”

Luis: Everyone was making fun of me for trying to make honey-butter. I accused them all of being nay-sayers, and Spencer literally said: “Naysay! Naysay! Naysay!” So I didn’t share any of it with anyone.




8:00pm-9:00pm

Luis: Oy! Deciding on our evening activities was a definitely a low-point. Here we all are (Spencer, Amy, Natalia, and I) sprawled out on the bed, looking up movie times, while trying to coordinate things with Karina who was on the phone at the time.

Natalia: I’m glad that bed didn’t collapse underneath us.

Luis: Who am I?… “How’s that bed holding up!?!”




9:00pm-10:00pm

Natalia: This is me “hanging” myself because the banana cream pie didn’t turn out the way I wanted

Luis: Perfectionism strikes again. After Natalia thought she had ruined the pie, she TRIED to throw it away… but then soon thereafter ran to the bedroom, which is when THIS photo was taken.

All-in-all, we had a tremendously memorable Thanksgiving holiday, which finally ended with us going to watch 2012.
