One Particular Harbor: Apple Cup and Kelly's 21st Birthday!

Anyone living in or around Washington state knows the real rivalry between Washington State University (WSU) and University of Washington (UW). Every year after Thanksgiving, we have our rivalry game called the Apple Cup. This year it was in Pullman (WSU) but we haven't exactly had a stellar season under our belts so we opted not to make the 6 hour drive over after Thanksgiving and instead just watch it at home with friends and family.

Apple Cup is usually a unique game because no matter what the season looks like for both teams, this game is always a toss up. For example this year UW had about 7 wins, compared to our 2 wins....so pretty much NOBODY was putting money on the Cougs....but somehow (thanks to a missed field goal on UW's part) we won the game in overtime!

It was a pretty exciting game, to say the least and we have won bragging rights (despite our awful season) for the rest of the year!

All Coug geared out while we run out to take advantage of Black Friday deals before the game

Hannah lucked out...we found a jumper on sale so she got an early Christmas present. She LOVES it.

Hannah was excited

Story time with Mommy later (ignore all of our wedding gifts piled up next to us....we are in limbo with them as we wait to hear about the house)

Moving on...

I don't know how it happened...but somehow the baby of the Grindley family turned 21 on the 26th of November. She decided to stay home an extra day so that we could all celebrate with her...(basically she just wanted two parties ;). So at midnight on the morning of the 26th we all took her out to the most poppin' bar we could find for a Sunday night/Monday morning. We bought her drinks and shots galore, celebrating her legal drinking age. She looked gorgeous and she definitely had a blast. Happy Birthday Kell! Love you!
