Thanksgiving

It is amazing how a person that is so small can take up such a huge amount of time! Hence, the blog has been neglected lately. I'll need to back track a few weeks in order to catch us up on recent events.

We decided to make the trek to Utah for Thanksgiving by car this year. We evaluated the weather and decided that we could make it before the storm would hit...we were wrong. We made it about 15 miles outside of Evanston, Wyoming when the white wall of snow was upon us. The majority of semi-trucks were pulled off on the shoulder placing chains on their tires. We knew we were in trouble as we inched along in our Accord . Our suspicions were confirmed when we saw the sign on the freeway informing us that I-80 was closed, bummers! Who wouldn't want to spend a luxurious night in Evanston with a 2-month-old??? As Bryan pointed out, we made it to India in better time (no exaggeration). However, once we made it to Utah, it was well worth it. We were excited for Luke to meet more of our family and friends.

Cousins Sydney and Madi gave Luke plenty of attention, and he loved it...

We even had a sign on the door, letting us know which room was ours, or correction, which room belonged t0 Luke.

At times, things were a little crazy with all of us (23!) in my parents house. However, my dad was able to find his own serenity.



Luke was also able to find his own quiet time amongst all of the holiday happenings...


As part of the Thanksgiving festivities we brushed up on some bowling skills at the local bowling alley. Dan was also brushing up on his turkey trot dance, in anticipation of obtaining three strikes in a row.



Sad to say, no additional turkeys at the bowling alley, but Bryan did manage to make the "Today's High Score" board. He felt like "the man" and attempted to show his competitive edge in the picture below.


It was a great Thanksgiving. We were glad that we could make it (to Utah and back home!) ...probably our first and last winter road trip with a baby. :)
