Thanksgiving & Decorating for Christmas

This is the first time in our 30 years of marriage that we have left the state where we were living and travelled to another state to enjoy Thanksgiving. On Thursday, Dave and I flew into Salt Lake City and drove to Evan and Driel's home in Orem. When we arrived we were amazed at all the home cooking that had been happening. . .turkey roasting in the oven, homemade bread dressing, salads, pies, mashed potatoes, rolls, and beautifully decorated tables. Evan and Driel put so much time and effort into making Thanksgiving so tasty and memorable.


Before we ate, there was time for Granddad to read "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" to sweet Moriah.

Aubrey spent some time reading Evan and Driel's hardbound blogging memories.

Music was an important part of our stay. Here is Aubrey playing a little jingle for us on the old accordion.

After Thanksgiving, it was fun helping Evan and Driel's family decorate for Christmas. Fiona was so good about just looking at the Christmas tree decorations and Moriah was helpful with the ornaments.
