Celebrating our anniversary and Thanksgiving

Once again, I have gotten behind in my blogging. I guess my desire to blog has gone down now that I've been finding really great books to read. I must get you all caught up on what's been going on with us. I forgot to mention earlier that Logan and I spent the first weekend in November in Park City for a early anniversary celebration. We knew that the holidays would be busy and going somewhere for our anniversary in December would be hard.

So we dropped Leah off at Logan's parents in Salt Lake and headed over to Park City. It was quiet this time of year so we enjoyed shopping at the Outlet mall, going to the movies, and going out to eat. We didn't have to worry about Leah's nap schedule or how to keep her entertained. It was so great to relax and sleep in (even though the bed wasn't as comfortable as our bed at home, but we did have another T.V. in our bedroom). We stayed in a nice condo with a big screen T.V. and a newly furnished kitchen.

Although I missed Leah terribly by the second day we were gone, I knew she was in good hands and sleeping well at her grandparents' house. On our way back home, we stopped at the Provo Temple and did a session since it had been several weeks since our last temple visit. Then Logan's parents brought Leah back in time for us all to watch the BYU football game. It was a great weekend.

Our Thanksgiving was also relaxing even though Logan only got one day off. We stuffed ourselves at his parents' house and let Leah follow around their three cats until they ran away from her. His parents once again stepped up for us and kept Leah that Friday and part of Saturday. Logan had to work some on Friday, but we were able to go out for lunch and see a movie (The Bourne Ultimatum, sooo good) that night. I was also able to get our Christmas tree up without Leah getting into everything. Haley and I watched the What Not to Wear marathon while I put up the tree. It was great to be child free for a day.

So far Leah has been careful with the tree. She did try to rip open some presents I set underneath it, but we had a talk and she hasn't bothered them since. I'm so glad I don't have to be worried all the time about it. And in honor of the Christmas season, I put Santa hats on Leah and myself and attempted to get a good picture but she never sits still long enough for the camera to take. So here's the best one I got. Maybe I'll try again later.

I put some pictures of Leah on our Flickr page so please check them out.
