This year we spent Thanksgiving in Paradise with Grandma, Papa and my dad. We picked my dad up from the airport Wednesday evening and headed up to Paradise. We were up there until Saturday night. It was a long, but nice visit. Grandma always cooks a very traditional Thanksgiving dinner- Turkey, homemade mashed potatoes, squash, peas, turnip, stuffing, cranberry, rolls, apple pie, and pumpkin pie... It was all so delicious. Sage even tried some of the soft veggies for her first Thanksgiving. We mostly relaxed and just visited. Grandma made a yummy brunch and invited Jeanne and Tony over on Friday morning. We went shopping Friday afternoon with Jeanne, but did not really find any deals we were interested in.We went over and spent an evening with her and Tony once we put Sage down to bed at Grandma and Papa's. We enjoyed spending time with everyone. We ate way too much good food, relaxed and had a good time. Grandma made Sage the most darling crocheted hat, cardigan and Mary Jane shoes. We walked around outside on the property. Papa has cleared out a lot of brush and has made a nice trail to the river that runs through their property. Saturday night on the way back home we drove by Temple Square for my dad to see. It was too cold and we were not prepared to get out and walk around. My dad stayed with us Saturday night. He and I went to the gym and worked out together. His flight left early this morning. Taylor brought him to the airport at 5 a.m. We hope he comes again for Christmas. We had a nice long weekend. And now we look forward for Christmas and all the fun and uplifting activities that lead up to it. We love this time of year to spend with family and friends, eat good food, and celebrate the birth and life of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
