Thanksgiving 2012

Blake and I flew to Texas for Thanksgiving this year. We knew Brian and Celia were going to be moving to Erie, PA soon and wanted to go to Texas one last time. We flew out of Salt Lake on Thanksgiving morning.
There were beautiful Poinsettias all over the SLC airport. Maden was glad to see us, and Blake was really glad to see him! When you tell Maden to smile, you get this funny cheesy grin.

In the car after leaving the airport, Maden wanted to see my money, we had a pretty good little math lesson as he counted how much money I gave him. We decided that we would go eat Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant, but the lines were too long, or they were not open yet. Maden was happy to just play with rocks outside Texas Roadhouse.

We finally found a Denney's that wasn't crowded and was open, so that's where we had Thanksgiving dinner. It was very good.

Blake got to meet Annie!


Helping Maden ride his bike, and walking and kicking through the leaves.


We took a walk on a pathway near their apartment and threw rocks into the stream.

Blake and Maden found an old car. We went to Steven and April Bird's farm.

Brian, Blake, Celia and Steven shot some skeet.

There are lots of fun things to do at the Bird farm!

We had a great time being with our Grandbabies again!

I'm sure I would have been a better parent if I could have practiced on grandkids first!


Yep, we love being grandparents!

Monday, November 26th came all too soon and we headed back to the airport. On the way there Maden told me he didn't want to go to the airport, he said it makes him sad for us to leave. It makes me sad to leave too, but we are sure glad we got to visit for a few days!

So fun to do something different for Thanksgiving. And to see the babies in Texas one last time.
