Christmas

We had so much fun in Utah for Christmas. We thought we would never get there but we were so glad that we finally did. We almost missed our flight because we were caught in traffic. Then when we got to the airport the line to check bags was ridiculous. I seriously was about to break out in hives. We were running through the airport. It may be funny in the movies but not in real life. We were in such a hurry that we forgot our diaper bag at security. By the time we realized it, we didn't have enough time to go back for it. Our flight attendants told us it was probably surrounded by about 10 security guards at the moment anyway. We were glad someone found the humor in the situation. But alas, our troubles were not at an end. The visibility in Salt Lake was aweful so we circled there for an hour before being diverted up to Boise where we sat for 3 1/2 hours. They finally let us off the airplane for 30 minutes to go get food. Andrew didn't want to get off, so he and Reed stayed on the plane while Eric and I went for food. Since Andrew was the only child still on the plane, the pilot invited him to go sit in the cockpit. Pretty cool. Six and a half hours after we were supposed to get there, we finally landed in SLC. Dad was a trooper. He was at the airport for over 7 hours. YUCK. But it was worth it. We had such a great time. Andrew wants to move back. He asked Reed the other day if he had talked to his boss yet about moving back to Utah.

Andrew loved everything about the snow. He wanted to help grandpa shovel, even on days that it didn't snow. Andrew, Reed, and Grandpa made a huge snowman in record time. And I think the picture of Eric could win some type of contest. Can you say "cute?"
