Home for the Holidays!

(OK, I know I'm month behind).  This trip was a long time in the planning and we did our very bestest to make the most of our time out West (Westest?) 

We even flew West-Jet, which has nothing to do with anything, but shows the lengths to which we went.

All our efforts paid off!  We got the full western experience, of course all the good stuff, but also the other stuff, the stuff that makes you stronger and builds memories.  We drove 8 hours across the barren prairies - I mean fertile plains.  We froze our nachos in the bitter cold - I mean, we felt the exhileration of having our nachos fro- Ok, no good way to say it.  It was cold.  But that's OK, it's Christmas dammit!.

Most of all, we got to spend just the right amount of time with cousins and aunts and uncles and second cousins and great aunts and uncles and most importantly, Grandma and Grandpa.
