Grandma Oliver and Aunt Karen visit

We weren’t sure that Jason’s mom / Susan / Grandma Oliver could wait until (US) Thanksgiving to make the trip… but she did finally arrive to see her new Granddaughter.  She and Karen made the very long trip out West to spend a few days with us. 

During their stay, we had ridiculously cold temperatures and all the adults were either sick with a cold or exhausted or both… so we spent many days visiting inside.  Meggan and Jason got way more than usual done, since Susan held Rachel all the time.

We tried to go for a couple of walks but nearly froze to death when we were out.  We did have a successful Thanksgiving dinner with our friends Nick, Jehanne, Scott, Sarah, and baby Brooklyn.  Lots of yummy dishes and full tummies!! Mmmmm.

We rounded off the visit with a trip up to Nickel Plate.  Susan spent time in the lodge with Rachel while Jason, Karen, and Meggan skied.  We thought Karen did an awesome job on her very first ever cross country skate ski.
