Thanksgiving 2018

We had such a nice long weekend.  I love it all.  Its not often we just get to hang out with Darren for more than a little bit.  So it was rather hard to have him head back to work on Monday after 4 and a
half days of fun.

The Sunday before we had family dinner at the Allens.  Darren cooked an amazing turkey.

The day after Thanksgiving Darren and I hiked/ran up Draper Ridge.  It was a beautiful day.  Darren came home and took the kids out biking.  The girls are always asking him to go so it was a perfect opportunity.

On Saturday we drove up to Sundance to get our season passes.  We got to walk around in the cold.  Then we took our neighbors, the Dowlands, climbing.  Great family.  

Abby got invited to a birthday party that they made gingerbread houses.  Fun girls that live around us.  

One day we climbed with our cousins the Allens.  Abby and Asher got really popular as soon as the phone came out with a movie on it.

We went to Logan for Thanksgiving Eve and Day.  Grandpa took us on a really pretty hike that was at the base of First Dam.  Ella taught us about using different filters for pictures.  There was a small cave the girls and I hiked up to.  We had a wonderful feast Seth prepared.  I made rolls that turned out to be rancid, so I quickly made a fresh batch with good flour!  And Darren loves to get out a lot, so while Abby and I took a nap he took the kids out on another walk.  

The kids wanted to help Grandma and Grandpa set up their Christmas tree in Logan.  Then we came home and set ours up.  So glad for their enthusiasm.  I dont do too much with decorating but kids just jump in and make it all work.
