We made it

This is a catch up post about our November trip to Colorado. We decided to go to Denver because everyone wanted to see Grandpa since his trials of the summer - ventilator, pneumonia, septic shock etc.
Clyde and I traveled early on Tuesday, before the 'blizzard that wasn't' hit Provo. Nicole, Casey, Michelle and Cisco could not leave until Wed due to work obligations. After deciding to come, then not, then yes they are coming - they finally left at 5 pm! They drove through Wyoming and had good roads for 5 hours then awful roads for the next 2+ hours. They stayed in the first hotel they saw in Laramie and made it down to Carolyn's in plenty of time for Thanksgiving. It was so good to spend time with Grandpa Carlson, who now lives in a 24 hour care center.All the siblings were there and it was a wonderful time to be together. Clyde was his helpful self, keeping up on the dishes as we cooked!Cousins!

Siblings! We are not as darling and cute anymore, but we still love each other...In order to depart early to beat another storm and take Erin with us, we all pitched in Friday night and decorated Carolyn's tree and house. We had it done in 1 hour. I propose that is how we should all decorate for the holidays!!
