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.

You forgot to add

"And NO THANKS to our crappy friends who didn't show at the last moment"

Yep. That's us. Sorry.

I hate snow...but for some reason being "snowed in" is completely awesome. I'm jealous!

ah, if there was a banner I'm guessing we should have gotten an invite....We forgive you but we're keeping the present. I guess we suck for missing the Film Festival so we deserve that! Love you anyway and Happy 30th Matt!
