Thanksgiving

We decided to stay in St. George this year for Thanksgiving. A cold front came through and dropped the temperatures pretty good with lows in the low 20's. We had turkey and the works which was delicious. It was nice to have time off and not have much to worry about. Happenings since the last post - Audrey is now crawling. Granted it is not fast, she can get to where she wants to go which is good since it means she can keep herself occupied a little more.



In an effort to get outside, I decided to take Emily on another hike up the hill behind our house. I had a few videos until I realized they appear sideways since I was holding the camera wrong. So, I will keep you from getting dizzy and you'll just have to trust that she is a very good climber. No complaining :). Whenever I'd pick her up she would say "walk" which interpreted means "I want to walk instead of being carried." Here are a few pictures of our walk. The hike is nice because the views are excellent.


Lastly, we have a Christmas tree. Fake, but it'll do the job this year since Emily is still too young to really understand and anticipate Christmas. I thought I'd never do it since we never had fake trees growing up. Oh well. Maybe next year we'll get a real one.

I like real trees, too! There's nothing like the smell of a fresh Christmas tree! We inherited Gma's tree so we put that up every year, but I think we'll have two again this year - one for upstairs and one for downstairs.
