The Belated Turkey Day Post

Wait, it's December? When did that happen? Hm.

We had a very merry thanksgiving this year, but it was also very bittersweet. Our brother Matt (H) made his first trip ever to the mountains a few days before thanksgiving day. It was really great to show him our town, our house, some of our favorite views and making him sleep on the floor once my mom came out as well to join us. It was a nice full table, including our friends Becky and Jevon who came up from Denver to join us just like last year. Liz once again did a marvelous job with the bird, and there was nary a complaint on the day. Though the Lions could have played better.


Once we had completely gorged ourselves at dinner on thursday, and watching JoAnna and Liz beat everyone at Catan, we drove up to Rocky Mountain for a nice snowy hike up to some of the lakes from the Bear Lake trailhead.


The week itself went quite quickly, and at the end of it they all packed back into Jo's car and drove back across the country for JoAnna to start the second trimester of her senior year back at TK. We really loved having her here, and the house already feels much quieter, slightly emptier, certainly filled less with shoes.


But soon enough we'll be doing the midwestern drive ourself for Christmas in two weeks, so we'll be reunited with the whole fam-damily soon. Until then, I'll be living under this pile of books over here before my finals next week. (Guh)
