Thanksgiving Weekend 2020

We were able to have the best Thanksgiving weekend with most of our kids and grandchildren. The Rowlands came up from Las Vegas and the Griffiths drove from California. On Thanksgiving Day Jeremy and Cameo came over from Sandy with Mckay, since the other 3 kids were already here having had a cousin sleepover.
Keira, Daphne and Lydia loved sleeping in the tent upstairs.
The 6 boys slept in the grandkids room down in the basement.

We did fun crafts.




Thanksgiving Day we woke up to what Aidan was really hoping for,
SNOW!
Light to warm jackets, no gloves(for the most part) or boots. 
But the grandkids LOVED it!!
I did finally get some of my gloves out for the older kids and some of my gardening gloves for the girls. It was better then completely cold hands.
You can see they loved every minute of playing in the snow.







I had the grandkids sit on the front porch for a picture and told them to throw the snowballs after the first picture. Guess where that one that is coming straight at me hit? It hit me square in the face, between my eyes. Pretty funny. It was Logan's snowball and he felt pretty bad and ran up and gave me a big hug. We all had a good laugh about it. The thing I didn't realize was that it knocked out a lens from my glasses and I didn't noticed until hours later. Allan found it outside in the grass.









More crafts.

The grandkids all sat around the kitchen island.

On Saturday we spent the afternoon at Jeremy and Cameo's home in Sandy.
The grandkids had a blast at the school playground that is right next to Jeremy and Cameo's home.

October Stuff 2020

Here are a few things that happened in October.

My roses finally had some beautiful blooms on them.
It took until October 2nd for that to happen.



We took a drive up to Cascade Springs to enjoy the fall colors on the 10th.




We do enjoy some beautiful sunsets here in the valley.

This one was on October 24th


Then the very next day it snowed!!


On Monday October 26th my Kitchen Aid mixer died.
It gave us 30 plus years of service in our home.
Now I have a new red one. And I love the color.
Here is to 30 more years!!
