November Highlights

I can't believe it's almost December....November flew by! Here are some highlights from this month...

The beginning of November always starts out with a week up at Snowbird. Our family (extended as well) has condos up there the same week so it becomes a family reunion of sorts. This year we were trapped up there for a couple of days due to a huge snowstorm. It was fun to be up there watching the snowfall and knowing we didn't have to be anywhere for days. Here are some pictures that captured the momentous event.


This was in the moring off the balcony of our condo.

This picture was taken later in the day, those lumps to the right are cars... not a hint of them showing from beneath all that snow. They had a news crew come up to interview some of the guests who were trying to dig themselves out.

This picture was taken from our other balcony. The snow kept falling... I think it ended up being taller than Thatcher.
We also had a suprise party for Mat's 30th Birthday up at Snowbird. It was over a week before his actual birthday, so I think he was definitely surprised. It turned out really well, better than I expected! I didn't do a very good job at capturing the event, but here are a few pictures that I did take...

Dan, why do you look so happy in this picture??
Thank you to all of our friends who made the drive up to wish Mat a happy birthday! We have awesome friends, it was so fun to see everyone.

Halloween fun


Thatcher was a couple of different things for Halloween this year. He dressed up for his school party and wanted to be Dash...

There are only 3 boys in his class and seven girls, he has adopted the expression of always being "girl trapped"


We went to a party at my sisters house where Mat and I dressed up as uh... Rockers? I don't actually know what we were, Mat just wanted to look like he was Bad A-- for a couple of hours!


Mat got there a little before me and my family didn't even recognize him...

We tried to find sleeves for me but they were sold out everywhere...apparently a lot of people wanted that this year


Halloween night Thatch wanted to go as Speed Racer.... Luke of course is Speeds pet monkey





One big happy Speed Racer Family
