Thanksgiving in Page

We took a much needed trip up to Page for Thanksgiving. We got to Page early Tues morning & then the girls spent the day with Grandma while David & I went to St. George to see our friends the Eagers be sealed as a family. It was well worth all the driving. It was nice to go to my parents & just relax. It was unseasonably cold there so the girls didn't get as much outside time as I had hoped for but they enjoyed the cold. Zhara loved eating the grapes from the neighbors yard...even though they were way over ripe
It did snow a bit while we were there so Zhara took the chance to catch the flakes!
Making pumpkin cake with Grandma....apparently it was a little loud for Lys
The LOVED the cream cheese icing
Thanksgiving day we did alot of cooking.....I think my attire is pretty awesome, actually it reminds me of how I never matched as a kid :)
I made homemade bread
The girls got lots of Daddy time. The favorite game was hide & seek

No Thanksgiving is complete without a puzzle
Playing in the leaves with Grandpa

Alyssa helped Grandma pick out the color of yarn for the towels & even got to help
For 2 days we basically just ate & sat on the couch watching football. I came around the corner & saw my parents getting the circulation going again
Saturday morning we rang the bells with Grandma
Although it was below freezing David was wearing his shorts, getting his "cold fix"
David enjoys doing yard work for my dad when he is there so he spent about 4 hours cleaning up the yard. The girls benefited from this too

The pile of leaves from the back yard
The girls LOVED the pile Dad made
Seeing the girls burying themselves in the leaves brought back memories of being a kid....lots of fond memories playing in the leaves
Nothing warms the body like a little hot chocolate.
We enjoyed our time away. It was good to relax & spend some time together before the rush of Christmas & the end of the year.
