Utah Bound for Thanksgiving - 2013

Nov to Dec 2013 109
We drove to Utah for Thanksgiving this year. It was so much fun and it was really good to see everyone again so soon after Tutu’s funeral. We stayed with Olivia and her sweet family for five days. It was glorious to have Joe the whole time! We had a wonderful time together as a family. We ate a ton of delicious food, spent a lot of time with our awesome family, saw Frozen & Catching Fire, and we were able to celebrate Emma’s First Birthday! It was a great, and relaxing visit. I’m so glad we were able to go for the Holiday. We love seeing our Utah family.
Here are a few photos from our visit. Enjoy!

I promise we were parked. We were waiting for the boys and Bonnie to return from the bathrooms. She just needed a break from her car seat. She did SO well on this trip! Gwen is an awesome traveler.

Travis & Jake watching the iPad together. Olivia had us stay in their newly finished basement. It was pretty sweet! They seriously had THE softest carpet ever! I could have slept on the floor, it was so comfy!

Once we got home from the long drive, Gwen got undressed and just relaxed. She slept so well that night too.

This happened while we were driving home. I was actually the one who drove through it – 60 to 70 mph winds! It was horrifying. I kept praying that we wouldn’t get blown off the rode. Then I checked the news the next day and saw this photo, awful! So scary. I’m so grateful it wasn’t us!
