For Thanksgiving, I got to go home to a winter wonderland! It was a blistering -10 degrees at night and 20 degrees during the day with about 15 inches of snow on the ground. It looked more like Christmas than Thanksgiving but sure was beautiful.
Since we really hadn't had snow in Salt Lake (until now) yet, I was kind of excited about all of the snow. Although frigid, I did go outside to frolic and play.
I got to see my little sister every day during the break which was awesome and my aunt and uncle joined us this year also. We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner at our house and enjoyed each others company.
A few years ago we started taking family pictures over Thanksgiving. Saturday we braved the cold long enough to snap a few pictures.
We finished off with one in the house but as you can see, some people were already done with taking them :)
The rest of the time home was spent doing about all you can do in the valley. We stayed home, went bowling, and went shooting. We tried out the new Conejos County Shooting Range which was really nice. I shot some guns that I have never shot before and look forward to shooting there again.
We drove back to Salt Lake on Sunday. Leaving is always easy in November knowing that I will be back home in 3 weeks for Christmas. It was wonderful being home and I was reminded of how blessed I am to get to go home as often as I do. I am thankful for a job that allows me to do that!
