We spent Thanksgiving with my Aunt and Uncle this year. They live in a city close to Lake Tahoe. The girls did amazing on the ride up and back home. It took us 11 hours to get home on Saturday.
My cousin was also there with his wife and 2 small children. It was really nice to see them. Emily loved their little girl. They were together the whole visit. Emily's little shadow. Audrey and Molly had a little bit harder time getting along with their cousins. I could see why there would be some conflicts. It was hard for me to get through because at home they get along pretty well for the most part. As soon as we were back home they were fine. Oh well, it is what it is. Luckily, my parents were there also, so my mom was able to help me out a lot.
We all stayed in one room at my aunt's house. Since it was a new place I decided to sleep in the room while the girls fell asleep. I decided since there wasn't much else to do in the evenings I would just stay in bed. Going to bed at 8 p.m. is a trip. I would wake up at 2:30 a.m. and stare at the ceiling. That was probably the worst part about sharing a room. I couldn't get up and keep myself busy with a project in the middle of the night.
I wish I had taken more pictures. Here is a video of Jeremy putting chains on my parents' car during our trip home. It was COLD. I was happy to have a chance to see snow fall though.
Sounds like a fantastic trip. The scenery is gorgeous. I love the snow, but then again I live in CO so I guess that's good. Glad you had a good holiday and I hope you have a great Christmas season!

What a good son-in-law!! Does he know you filmed him? hehe
No one here knows what 'chains' are...Coloradoans never knew either, they just looked at me blankly. :)

Do they not use chains? Jeremy said he never used them in NC either.
