Happy Thanksgiving!

I apparently am incapable of actually updating my blog with any regularity anymore...I'll work on that, I promise! Here are some pictures from my trip to Denver over Thanksgiving where I got to spend 4 days with Grandma, Papa, and my Uncle Vaughn, Aunt Carolyn, and cousins-it was a great break before coming back to start finals!

It snowed the first night we were there! Here are Papa and Uncle Ernie shoveling a neighbor's driveway.Papa looks ready for some serious shoveling action!

Dad got put to work (I think he was in the wrong place at the wrong time). They had him slicing sweet potatoes...and of course it took mom AND grandma to supervise.But they let him play with big knives, so he really couldn't complain too much!Hi Amanda!Mikaela & I were freezing in Grandma's house!Mikaela working on swiping wireless internet from the neighborsMom and JoanneA Father-Daughter moment
