Honoring Grandpa Sandgren

Thanksgiving night, we received news that Vance's Grandpa had passed away. The funeral was the following Friday in Provo. It was an amazing ceremony and he was honored by many people. He was a choir director for Orem High, so a bunch of his students came and sang in his honor. It was the most amazing piece I've ever heard. Grandpa always set such a good example by the way he treated Grandma. He was always telling us how beautiful and special she was to him. They were always so cute to each other and always tried to make the other one the spotlight of the night. He will be missed very much, but we are so grateful for the knowledge that we will someday see him again. What a blessing the gospel is in our lives.

Sandgren Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving with the Sandgren's, we spent the entire Saturday before Thanksgiving day hanging out and having fun. We first went to Chuck-A-Rama to eat. It was nice to have such a big variety of food that was all you can eat, including dessert! Then we went to BYU to go bowling. I love bowling, and even though I was 28 weeks pregnant, I had just as much fun! After bowling, we went back to Vance's mom's house and watched the BYU vs Utah game and ate more food! Then we watched old home videos that were hilarious and quite entertaining! It was a fun day. So fun, in fact, that we didn't leave until almost 2am!

Before it Snowed...

Vance wanted to go for a drive and take pictures somewhere, so I quickly took the opportunity to have some alone time (since it's a rare occasion these days), and volunteered Mason to go with him. This satisfied all of us since Vance and Mason don't get "father and son" time very often either. He ended up going to the Bird Refuge in Farmington. If any of you have ever been out there, you know it's not the prettiest place on the planet. But with some of these pictures, you might just think otherwise... Okay, so after posting these pictures, I realized that they really aren't doing justice on how pretty they really are. So if you want to see a better view, just click on any of them to blow them up...it makes a difference. I was quite impressed with these pictures when he brought them home, so later that week he took me out there, and I was quite disapointed. I don't know where these pictures came from or how he made that place look so good. I guess that's a sign of a good photographer! I love these pictures of Mason he took! These are the pictures he took when he took me back there a few days later. I know this is a lot of pics, that are probably boring to all of you but I think they're gorgeous! Sorry :)
