Thanksgiving was last weekend and we hosted like we normally do. Andy deep-fried one turkey and smoked the other turkey. Hands down the smoked turkey was the best I ever had. Huge kudos to Andy for making such a fantastic turkey. Max was excited to inject the turkey again this year.
Grandpa and Max popped the champagne bottle.

The next day was our tradition of decking the halls with boughs of holly!
On Saturday, Andy and I decided to be young and fun and fly to Vegas to see Usher perform before his residency was up. This took me back to 1997 and I had a great time! It was just the two of us and it was a fantastic date trip. It was 10 degrees colder in Vegas than here so I had to pack a sweater.
Andy made reservations at a restaurant in Aria, and I am sorry but I can't remember the name of it, but we ordered this sashimi appetizer that came out with smoke and looked fantastic. It was spicy, but oh so good.
I will say Usher put on a fantastic show and it was fun to fly up to Vegas for 24 hours and pretend we are in our 20s again.
Max stayed with Grandpa Tim and Grandma Shelley while we were in Vegas. Grandma took Max to see a movie.
It was a nice four day weekend to celebrate the holiday and it was a super quick 24 hours in Las Vegas.
