Hottest birthday ever!

Me had a birthday, shout hooray!

Me with her presents, a Game from U, a puzzle from Megan and Matthew and spa materials from Sarah.

She may be getting older but she's so hot her hair is literally on fire!
Thankfully, no one was hurt and we put it out quickly.
Me requested the Lemon Bundt cake that she had when she was kid.

Me had been hoping to do a puzzle all day but it just hadn't worked out.  She was happy to build the new puzzle from M&M.

Thanksgiving

 For Thanksgiving, we headed up to Cedar City. We had a nice time despite there not being any snow. We had yummy food, played lots of games, went swimming, took walks, played at the park, did some shopping and celebrated Liz's 8th birthday.

U and Sarah participated in a trail run Thursday morning. U did the 5K and Sarah the 3K. Grandpa, Luke and Andrew also participated. It was a tough race.

Running up a wash at the beginning of the race.

Me with a cute little Christmas tree. Cheryl-Lynn, Kiley, Grandpa and Me went to get a tree for the Adams.
