Christmas Eve

Since Chad had to use some several of his vacation days for interviews, we ended up leaving for Idaho on Christmas Eve. This was not my preference, but unavoidable. I was worried that we would get stuck having Christmas in the airport due to bad weather cancellations. Luckily, everything went according to plan with no complications.

Our friend was nice enough to drop us off at the airport for an early morning departure. Chad decided that we have now reached a point where paying for a cart to carry luggage is essential (but he was only willing to splurge for one cart). He very skillfully arranged the luggage so that everything would fit. Ha! Good work Chad.

It was a long day of traveling but the girls really did an amazing job. Thanks for being good sports.

Hooray! We made it to Utah.
Now all we have left is a 3 hour car ride.

Annie made herself right at home. She looked so content watching her DVD with her shoes and socks off. I had a hard time getting a good picture from the front seat.

The roads were great and we made good time.
The scenery was beautiful!

We had to travel over the country and through the woods, but we finally made it to Nana and Grandpa's house...just in time for Christmas Eve dinner. Yummy!
