When Cory and I first got married, we thought that we would alternate holidays. Yeah, that didn't last very long. Due to one thing or another (Ruby being born around Thanksgiving was an initial trigger back in 2009), we have switched things up. I've discovered that it is VERY nice to wake up in your own home on Christmas. I still LOVE getting together with family, though. This year, we spent Thanksgiving at Alan & Margie's house. Lacey was there too for most of the time, and Great-Grandma Marlene came in from her place for a few nights also. Great to see everyone.
When we first arrived, Grandma & Papa had a few things for the girl who turned 5 a week earlier. She got a fun Frozen dollhouse.

Margie always makes quite the spread for Thanksgiving. I did try to help a little bit, but there's not much to help with when Margie is so organized. Margie's sister Dana and her husband Bruce came to dinner, as did Dana's son (and Cory & Lacey's cousin) Michael. It was very nice to see everyone!

A few photos taken by one of the girls:
Since there was plenty of snow in Sundance, it was only fitting that the girls made the best use of their surroundings. One of the days was extremely cold and the girls STILL wanted to go! Apparently, Scout was a full-blown daredevil and she loved every minute of it. This made Cory just a wee bit nervous!

Our return to Fort Collins went well, we stopped in Lusk at a Subway restaurant and not surprisingly, our kids ate NOTHING. So much for road-food for these gals!
