We’ve arrived safely in Idaho. A couple of things:
* We were forced to go through Utah rather than Wyoming. The good news: we avoided several small blizzards. The bad news: it was Utah.
* I saw a cookbook in Utah called “The Mormon Cookbook: friends, fun and the spice of life.” I immediately began to reconsider my impression of the state. I had no idea they cooked Mormons. Mmmm, delicious!
* I have been in my mother’s house for nearly 12 hours and still have not had a fight with a family member. This must be a record.
* We forgot that, you know, tomorrow is Christmas and the kids might like presents to open in the morning. Luckily, Walgreens was still open at 10 p.m. when we left our family gathering in a rush to buy something, anything to put in their stockings. Unluckily, we were labed Bad Parents of the Christmas Season by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
* It’s 1 a.m., our lame presents are wrapped under the tree, Santa has left a note explaining that Ben’s mother is an ass and wouldn’t let him deliver a bicycle because it wouldn’t fit in the car on the way home, but that he would be back the 2nd of January. Santa hopes Ben buys it.
* Marti has some great pictures of us sledding in Colorado at Critical Moss. Have a great Holiday!

I checked out the pictures that marti put up. There is one really evil one of Maya. I often wonder how one child can look so evil at you and one can only look like an angel. Maya will get farther in life with her versatile looks!
