Welcome to the snow! (Day 1)

(In the parking lot of the Durango airport. I'm king of the world!!)

(My awesome family.)

I finally made it home on Sunday and was able to meet up with the family. They ALL came. It was great to see everybody, my parents, my sister, my brothers, along with their spouses and children. Yep, they literally brought the whole tribe. Anyway, the biggest change for me was going from 80 degree weather in Baton Rouge to 20 degree weather in Colorado where I landed.

Walking out of the plane, I was shocked by the cold weather and had to take a minute to get used to it. I started to cough due to the cold air and was glad it was a short trek from the plane to the terminal. (It was outside because it's a small airport).

After meeting the family, we headed out to complete our Christmas shopping and it was fun hiding presents for my nieces and nephews from them as we walked around the stores.

Later that evening, we went to eat at a Mexican restaurant in Durango, CO, the restaurant was called Francisco's.

(On the streets of Durango, heading to dinner.)

(Yummy smothered burrito at Francisco's.)


(You know you're in the country when you can get jewelry made out of animal parts.)

We drove the 2 hours home and the entire way was pretty much blanketed by snow. When we finally arrived home, it started snowing again, adding to the 13 inches that was already on the ground. It snowed two more inches. Ah, winter in Utah, gotta love it.
