Christmas

Wow- This is WAY overdue! We had an eventful Christmas! We tried to fly into MN the day the metro dome collapsed and ended up stuck in SLC for 2 days. Thank goodness my uncle put up with us for those days and we finally made it to MN. Grayson had a weird vacation time, so we were actually there the 2 weeks before Christmas. We spend a lot of time shoveling snow- it was crazy! But we went to the M of A, Adalei jumped and played in the snow as much as possible, met up with some friends, saw family and got to just spend some time together. It was nice to just hang out and relax as much as possible. Unfortunately Trevor got held up in D.C and just made it in the morning we left, so we hung out at 4am for a while and said goodbye and left for the airport 2 hours later. We were so sad because he brought his new puppy and Adalei LOVES pets. We barely made it home with 2 more delays and plane de-icing, and then they lost our car seat. Argh!!!!! When we got home the Schenk family was waiting for us at our house, so we ended up spending the next week with them in Reno. Grayson's two brothers went snowboarding and we just played and had fun. Adalei of course loved all her gifts, and Ellie loved the wrapping paper and bows. Thanks to everyone for making it such a great Christmas!! (The pics went on backwards, and I am too lazy to fix them...)
