Family Survey

After our trip, I thought it would be fun to see what

 

 everyone thought, so I sent out this survey and logged the answers.  Can you guess whose answers each are? (Some were duplicate)

4. The thing I was saddest about leaving to come home was..........................going back to work, leaving Trent and Emi, leaving my Mama, leaving the nice weather, leaving Emi, leaving Nana's house, going home to cold weather, leaving our California family
5. The thing I laughed the hardest about was...............................Spencer returning the van to the parking garage, Gabi's comments, Gabi talking about angels and zombies, the "wedgie" in Las Vegas
6. That 12 passenger van was..................................great family time, awesome, fun, much appreciated that it was insured, a noisy experience, giant, really close to that "pipey thing", really comfy despite the number of passengers and all of the luggage
7. The nicest thing that happened on the trip was................................getting to see everyone in California, sharing a hotel room with Rory, being with both families, the beach, getting a present from Nana, Trent giving me his Lego watch, Grayson falling asleep, being invited to Aunt Sally's house for Christmas dinner, Sara fitting me in to her busy salon schedule
8. What one thing that we didn't do would you choose to do if we were to have a "do-over"?.............
Spend more time on the beach, spend more time at Disneyland, gamble more in Vegas, go to Legoland, eat at In & Out more, spend Christmas in our new house, get home before 3:00am
9. The beach day was fun because.................................the weather was beautiful, watching the kids play in the ocean, finding seashells, playing in the waves
10. This is what I think about Nana and the family.............................I love them, I am blessed to have such amazing and loving in-laws, they are special,  they are an extension of our family, I love them and can't wait to see them again, they are nice and they made a good turkey dinner
11. The thing I missed most about not spending Christmas at home was..........................watching the kids run down the stairs in their pj's to open gifts, cooking a nice Christmas dinner, not hearing reindeer feet on the roof, playing with my toys at home, seeing the kids open their gifts, waking up in my own room & my Mom, the cold weather
12. If we could've fit more people in our van, who would you choose to come along?..................Tasha to be with Rory and help with Grayson, Mer and family, The Taylors, Trent and Emi, Aunt Heather, Emma and Elijah, all of the above!
Well, there you have it! A condensed version of our trip thoughts......
And now, back to Greality and the snow and the cold......
This weekend had plenty of both the snow and the cold.  Our plans to play bridge in Ft Collins Saturday were halted due to the weather, as well as a plan to go to Denver to a party at my Mom's place on Sunday.  We did make the best of it, I think.  We had Gabi and Corbin on Friday night while Carrie and Spencer went to dinner with friends,

 then Sophie and Grayson Saturday night while Curt and Amie did the same.

 Sunday was spent in the kitchen, peeling several pounds of potatoes for soup to take to the Frost family home where we all shared  Sunday dinner.  While the guys and Gramma watched football, the girls and the kids and I played board games!

 

 

 

And Grayson played with trucks!
