Surprise!

The best gift this year was our decision to surprise my Grandma in Wyoming. We ventured to the beautiful Cowboy State and spent eight days with her and my other relatives. Along our trek, we had a bit of fun dealing with a car that decided to overheat and a random stop someplace in Montana.

Needless to say, upon our arrival, Grandma was speechless. Plus, my mom and dad surprised her, as well, and drove up from Colorado for a couple of days. It was perfect. The week was spent the majority of the time at my aunt and uncle's hideaway cabin in the canyon. We relaxed and enjoyed one another's company with laughter and conversation, coffee, beer, and lots and lots of food. The best part about Christmas was just being with my family and watching Nate and Madelynne play with one another. They had so much fun and were so engaged with one another.

We also toured the Wyoming Whiskey Distillery and spent some time in Red Lodge, Montana, at my aunt and uncle's house. It was relaxing, refreshing, and just what we needed. Looking forward to what 2014 has to offer.
