Sawyer and I kissed George goodbye on Thanksgiving day and flew back to Cedar City. All of my siblings (minus Alethea who is off playing in NZ) were gathered at my parent's home. We arrived around 4 p.m. and were so excited to see everyone and eat up the thanksgiving dinner leftovers. It felt like summer too with clear blue skies and temps in the 60's.
Mac & Steph's dog, Bug, decided to take the day and have an outing of his own. So after dinner we went out on walks trying to find him. Unfortunately we didn't have any luck, but prayers were answered and when Sara & Joe were driving home from the festivities around 9 p.m. they saw a police car in front of the doggie jail, so they pulled over and sure enough they were just bringing in Bug. That was awesome timing!
George has been working so hard (80+ hour weeks!) and we're so grateful for all he does for our family. I feel so blessed to have him as my man. I hope he knows how much we love, appreciate, and respect him! He is such a great example for Sawyer, and will be for our next little guy.
The train set provided hours of entertainment. Sawyer was unsure of the trains at first and was named 'Babyzilla' because he would come crashing through and rip the trains off the track before it could get too far. He is quite advanced now and goes for the controller instead of the train, and he says 'choo choo choo choo' over and over in a frantic tone.
On one of our many walks in Cedar - this is the sheep tunnel that goes for an amazingly long way under the streets of Cedar. I asked the group to throw signs to go along with all the graffiti...look how gangsta they all are, we got bunny ears and everything!
A couple days after Thanksgiving we headed to Bryce Canyon Nat'l Park. Somehow I've managed to never visit this park, even though it's only a 2 hour drive from Cedar. I've been missing out! It was amazing. I'll never tire of beautiful red rock. It helped that we had perfect weather.
The Grandeur!
The trail we took was between Sunset and Sunrise Point. On this particular section there was a lot of Oregon Holly Grape Bushes - we even found three berries.
Thank you for the crossed eyes Maccy.
Awww the cute Alaskans :) Chris loves getting his picture taken.
You can see part of our group on the trail to Queens Garden.
I have SO many blessings in my life. What a neat holiday, to celebrate gratitude.
