Unexpected trip to Utah

Cody's grandma passed away just before Thanksgiving.  At 1st we didn't think we would be able to go to Utah for her Cody was going to be at a meeting in New York.  But we felt like we should be there so we rearranged some things and got it figured out and flew out there.  Cody still had to go to NY so he met us there and I flew solo with the munchkins.  

 It was a bitter sweet trip, sad that Grandma Carol was gone, but so nice to see everyone, especially baby Cate! She is so stinking cute!
 After the funeral we went to visit some friends. We went to Cody's old office, which was good but also weird. Then we went up to out old neighborhood to check on our house and pop in on old friends. Only one was home though! It was fun to see Brittany's new baby, Maddox!
 We met up with Cody's family later that night for dinner and by that night the kids were exhausted!  This is how we found Londyn in bed!
 Of course we had to go to Kneaders for french toast.  That was one happy girl!
 We also got to visit with Annie and Brooklyn and Cooper Duckworth.  Poor Brooklyn was in the hospital, so we got her a little stuffed animal kitty to help cheer her up!
 Then we stopped at another favorite place- Hire's.  And had a yummy burger.  That had totally remolded the inside!

 One night we also visited our friends Dustin and Jill and their 2 girls.  Then we went to see our friends the Simpers and we headed to City Creek for dinner and to see the Christmas lights.
 And we also stopped by my Aunt Taya's new house to see the finished remodel.  It looked amazing!  This house needed so much work and they did such a great job!
It was a jam-packed 3 days and we didn't get to do everything or see everyone, but we did a lot and most importantly we were there for Cody's mom as she said good bye to her mom.
