Thanksgiving in Colorado.

The week of Thanksgiving the weather fore cast was for a lot of snow, infact the weather man called it the biggest blizzard in Utah. So Mom bought a few things just in case we were snowed in. But we were blessed and the snow fall was minor so we made the trip.

We decided this year we were going to travel to Colorado for a few reasons.

1. We were able to attend Blake's Basketball Tournament. It's not to often that we are able to watch Blake play, but now that they are only 3 1/2 hours away maybe we can make the trip more often. (Oh and La-Shana has a friend that can get us cheap rooms at the Sheraton).

2. We wanted to spend Thanksgiving with the Francoms. This year Mom did something a little different and decided not to cook but to go out to dinner. That was all good till we saw how long the line was at the restaurant, not to mention how cold it was, so Mom and La-Shana stood in line while we found a Wal Mart to roam around in. Overall dinner was great and we spent the rest of the evening at the Francom's. Before we travelled to Colorado, La-Shana asked us to bring the Wii system and the game Just Dance. So you can imagine what consumed a lot of our time.

Here's the old man and Makenna.

3. We were able to spend time as a family away from everything. We had a lot of fun and our host weren't that bad either. La-Shana and Blake dominated Just Dance, we didn't stand a chance. The weather was cold so there wasn't much we could do outside, but Hunter and Dad braved the weather and went hot tubbing. We also spent a lot of time at Chucky Cheese got lucky a few times.




Blakes family also made the trip.

How cute is that.

Max and Keila were unable to make the trip, But we did have Mikey's girlfriend with us. She's been nick named "Cub"

Because Mom had bought a few things before we made the trip, when we arrived home mom started cooking up the food that she had bought before we left, that was yummy
