Some of our best friends, Collin and Chad Hutchinson, made the trip from MS to Iowa. We had the best time! They brought with them Murray and Ann Travis. Little Warren stayed with grandparents. They had been asking for snow for months, and they got it! (along with some ice!) Their flight was cancelled on Thursday night from Atlanta because of a snow storm that delivered us about 3 inches of snow. They finally arrived on Friday about lunch, and the kids were able to play in the snow and sled some. Then we went to see Nemo on Ice Friday night with some other friends. Saturday we just hung out, it was really yucky outside! Sunday, we went and ate brunch with Santa! The kids were able to decorate cookies and make Reigndeer food. (Ann Travis was pretty upset that we left her cookie on the table)! She asked about her cookie several times...and hours later! They flew out this morning before the ice storm that the weather men are saying we are supposed to get tonight! I called to make sure the flights went well, and Collin was quick to inform me that it was 70 degrees at 6pm! Thanks Collin! :) The high here was around 30 degrees!
I will have to say that the kids (especially Landon and Murray) played really well together. Ann Travis and Laurel are HIGH MAINTENANCE girls (they must take after their daddies!) But they all had a good time, and were happy to see each other.
We ALL really enjoyed their visit! I had not laughed that hard in a long time. I got a little homesick too. Not really for MS (although I would like some of that weather right now), but it was a reminder of all the good friends that we have down there, and the good times that we had with them. We hope to see some of you during Christmas!
Here are a few pics from their visit!
