Happy Birthday Grandma Charlotte

Aaron's mother, Charlotte, lives in Wyoming. We knew she'd be alone on her birthday so we surprised her by showing up unannounced. Cokeville, Wyoming is not the place to do anything unannounced in the middle of winter. We showed up to heaps of snow and her driveway lane not quite plowed yet. We attempted to drive through the snow only to get stuck...badly. So, we got out of the car with a bouquet of balloons, walked up the lane, through the 3 foot deep snow, and found ourselves trying to break in the house because Charlotte was gone! Not too much later we got a hold of her on the phone, she picked us up in her 4-wheel drive vehicle, and we made our way to the local restaurant. Little did we know that we'd be in that restaurant, for hours, snowed-in through a blizzard. During this blizzard we found a snowplow truck that took Aaron back up to the house to dig out our car and clear the lane, but by the time we made it back to the house the lane was once again in need of a plow. We made it up to the house and inside eventually, but all this made for a fun adventure! We love you Mom.
