Catch Up

It has been such a busy time with recovering from all the trips this last month and getting back into our routines, but it finally has happened.

My Grandma's funeral was beautiful. I love Idaho! They gave us a police escort from the freeway exit all the way to the cemetery. We were second in line from the limo and when I looked in the rear view mirror, it was such an awesome sight seeing the line of cars on their way to the cemetery. My Grandma has a big and wonderful family. Before we left, we ordered flowers to put by her casket from the girls and from Spencer and I. When we got to Idaho, I went to the florist to see the flowers. When they brought them out, tears overcame me because they were so much more beautiful than I had imagined.

This one was from Spencer and I. I wanted Calla Lilies so bad, and when we went into the viewing they were placed right by her head, it was perfect.
This one was from the girls. The ribbon on it said, "Gee Wah Great". That is what they called her. It was really special and we are so glad that we got these flowers.

They were such an awesome florist, I wanted to put them in my pocket and bring them back to Colorado with me because all the florists here suck.

Thanksgiving was good for us here. It was just us 5 here at home to cook for and even though there was only 5 of us and not as much food, it still took all day to cook! Amazing how that happens. Avary came home from preschool with a pilgrim hat. When she showed us she said that she was a "pildrum". It was really funny trying to correct her because she was absolutely sure it was "pildrum" and not "pilgrim". Anyway, here is a picture of her in her cute little hat:

She sure likes to pose, too.

Last year I made the promise to the girls that they get to decorate the tree this year. So, we are making all the ornaments for the tree. It has been a great walk through memory lane. The girls are having a lot of fun.

So is Spencer:

We are making things that I used to make as a child for our Christmas tree. We have a long way yet to go, but I think we will make it before Christmas.
