Family Pictures in the freezing cold!

We had a wonderful last two weeks with Joel's family visiting. Joel's parents and his brother Christian flew in the day before Thanksgiving, I picked them up and we headed straight for Wyoming to spend Thanksgiving with all of my family. We had a wonderful time and surprisingly the 8 hour drive went by super fast! Thank goodness that I had extra help entertaining the kids, otherwise I would never had made it. Poor Joel was on the rig. I really missed having him there with us. Thanksgiving is a big deal for my family. We ate and ate and I'm sure had our whole weeks worth of caloric intake in two days, but I loved being with my family. I was also very happy to see where my sister Kim and her husband Syd live. It was a really fun town. On the way home we took the wrong road and ended up in Montana instead of going south! So that added two hours to our drive home, but it went by fast and we saw some amazing sights in the Wind River area.

We got home with Joel anxiously waiting and had a lot of fun just hanging out and spending time with Joel's cousins. We also took some freezing cold family pictures here in Daybreak. Thanks to my friend Kjersten who sacrificed her time and body to the cold weather! It was like 25 degrees not including the wind chill. She did great! So the pictures were not shall we say perfect, but it's a memory and there were several good moments captured, like when we were joking that Norby (my father-in-law who is really named Norberto) looked like Michael Jackson because he was wearing white socks with his dark slacks. We also enjoyed the lights at Temple Square that same night. Overall, we've had a lot of fun and have gone non-stop! Needless to say, I'M EXHAUSTED!!!
