The plan was to fly in and then drive to the cabin in Wyoming the next day - but mother nature had different plans. According to the weather people the storm of the decade was supposed to hit. It was going to be super cold, lots of snow, and really really bad driving conditions. Schools and businesses were closing so people could get home and stock up before the madness of white began to fall. With all the warnings about snowfall and such we decided to not go to the cabin and enjoy the weekend here. (I think the deciding factor was with the wind chill the outside temp would be -20 degrees)
We had a great weekend. We went to lunch with Pat's parents, we saw our wonderful friends, we got to see Utah beat BYU, we played tons of games, we got to see our adorable niece Sophie - She has grown so much in just a few months. She even warmed up to Pat by the end of the weekend. We are super excited to welcome a nephew in March (the best month to be born!)
We cooked enough Thanksgiving dinner you would have thought 20 people were coming over. I got to take leftovers home!!! Airport security didn't even have a problem with the cranberry jelly. About a third of the stuffing was gone by the time it made it to the table for dinner. We cooked in our comfy clothes and ate in them too! This was a first!
This is the only picture I can steal off Facebook of the big dinner.
We watched it snow all day Sunday and secretly hoped our flight was cancelled so we could stay longer.
