Ahhhh....

... a weekend at Nana and Papa's. Gary taught at a conference in Salt Lake this weekend so we got to go down. Things I loved:

*getting away from the incessant cleaning, dishes and laundry at my house. It's more fun doing all that stuff somewhere else, I guess!
*seeing deer two mornings out of three in Nana's back yard while eating our black and white pancakes at breakfast time
*running out to pet every dog that goes by on the golf course
*seeing Maggie and Sophie's excitement to crawl into bed with Nana (at the crack of dawn) for morning cuddles
*helping them decorate their 20 foot Christmas tree! We blasted holiday music, drank hot chocolate, and watched Miracle on 34th Street. Bring on the holidays!
*eating a roquefort bacon H and root beer freezes at Hires. mmmmm.
*walking "the circuit" through the Fairy Forest (the golf course) at sunset. Is this gorgeous warm weather really November? wow!
*Costco! yay!
*tea parties and duck duck goose with Papa
*Maggie's incessantly playing the piano. Duets with Nana and Papa, her first Christmas song... she's getting pretty good but if I hear Old Joe Clark again I'm just going to lose it.
