We were very grateful in November for many blessings we have. It marked a change to our usual traditions at Thanksgiving time, but maybe created a few new ones. We are most grateful to have spent time with family and enjoying the surprisingly warm weather.
We spent Thanksgiving day in with Chad's family, and that was super. There was a ton of good food, and I enjoyed running with the ladies, and it was a lot more simple than Thanksgivings where I have had to cook the entire meal! It was calm . . . Chad took the kids to play a turkey bowl and soccer along with other members of the family and kids. I just enjoyed the peace.
After dinner and dessert, we hit the road to St. George. It was a long haul, but we made it fine. The kids were watching movies - so they enjoyed it. Friday and Saturday, Audrey had a soccer tournament, and it was fun to watch her play. She missed so many games in the Fall, it is fun to see her playing.
We also enjoyed Snow Canyon, movies, eating at restaurants, and a visit with Grandpa Iverson. It was a wonderful trip. We have great memories and only small pangs of sadness for the lost ones (skiing on Friday, setting up the tree after Thanksgiving, etc.)
Anyway - now we are off to Christmas - and with quite a bang!
