Merry Christmas to all...

We are here in Utah. We left yesterday (Friday night) around 5 and traveled through the night. It works best this way because the kids sleep in their car seats. Lucky I know!! Then when they wake up we're at grandma's house. Not the case this time. We stopped in Portland and went to Chuck E Cheese to let the kids run around. After disinfecting them in the bathroom we set off. The roads were horrible!! Oregon was seriously like driving on icy potholes. I took a turn driving for a little bit but when the mile marker started waving at me, I decided that maybe I better stop. Our normal drive of 13 hours took 17. I am really starting to hate that drive. The kids woke up and we were not yet to grandmas. In fact there were 3 hours left to go. That made for cranky kids, dad, and mom. Add snow 80 % of the way and wheww we are finally here!! It is a massive winter wonderland!! It's cold for our kids but they are also enjoying it. It's great to be around family for the holidays and I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. Maybe we'll come home. But I am having doubts about getting back in the car. Melackaleeke Muka!

So glad you made it Beck! And so happy for you all to be around family this Christmas. I am sure the kids are loving at, as are grandpa and grandma. I know...that drive is killer. Don't even think about the drive back yet! Have fun.
