What a weekend! It was a bit of a comedy of errors-- between delayed flights, postponed parties, unexpected blizzards of the decade, colds, and the cold. But it was wonderful :) And I miss my family tremendously. Feel free to come back any time, all of you!
Mallory & Josiah were delayed getting in Thursday night and I picked them up at 2 in the morning on Friday...as the blizzard was starting. After sleeping in a little bit (Ben had a late start which ultimately became a no start when he turned around and came home after trying to get to work during the cluster that was 6 inches of snow in ABQ) we all got up and were playing with balloons in the living room when a blaze orange poster and bundle of balloons appeared in our driveway and started moving towards our front door. Ben thought it was our weird neighbors, I thought it was Ashley & Eric, but we were both wrong... it was Dad and Jo! Surprise!
"Here's Wishing We Were Here! Oh We Are!"
Such Minnesotans...as roads are closing left and right, we decide to venture out across town to get dinner at El Pinto. Worth it.
Saturday morning was supposed to be Asher's birthday party. But this happened. Albuquerque got more snow than they had since 2006- and as the entire city has 2 plow trucks and doesn't understand the purpose of salt unless it's around the rim of a margarita glass, we postponed the bash. Almost every major road was closed for about 24 hours.
Snow icecream!
Here comes a bear!
So the snow pictures were Saturday morning, around 1 pm on Saturday afternoon the sun came out and by later in the day, this was our backyard. ABQ is bizarre.
Waking up to a boatload of party balloons- but no party
....that's not true, we still had a party :)

After we canceled the party, we had to eat a lot of cupcakes. Darn.

Poor dad had a bad cold...so we let him nap...without messing with him at all :)

Balloons were a constant happening over the weekend.
