Thanksgiving in Grand Junction

Well, here we are. Angie's tall, dark, and handsome boyfriend joined us this year. We are hoping he is a keeper. Kids: Annabelle, James, Anaya, Maya and Nerea (Enrich is in the background a family friend).

Traveling was pretty bad, it could have been worse the night before Annie kept waking up in puke, but was never sick while we traveled. As soon as we showed up to the airport they told us that our plane was delayed and there was no way to get to GJ that day we had to wait a day, Thur. So we decided to fly to Denver and rent a car for the 4 hr trip. We get to Denver and try to get on a flight to GJ. The guy says yea if you can get there in time. So Luke has to run to the baggage claim get all of our bags, go through security, Get the super search, taking everything out of our bag, getting questioned because we are not with him, ride the airport train, arrive as the flight is delayed only to find out we are on standby, and there are a couple of people in front of us on this little plane. Oh Geez. The 1:20 flight left at 3:30 with us on it, and Annabelle even got to sit with us. The flight home went smoothly and by that, we left the GJ house at 8:30 and arrived at our house at 7:15pm. Traveling that far over Thanksgiving is really hard on us. Oh and we are filing a claim because our digital was in the bag on the way out and we can not find it.

Good moments: Annie playing at Nonna's house and making memories there. Calling for Mimi, dragging her by the hand to go play, cuddling with Papa for 20 minutes. Getting excited when Dave who was sick comes down stairs and tells Angie. Playing with all her cousins. Getting caught up with my sisters. How could we miss these moments??
