The Saturday B4 Christmas my parents were scheduled to arrive home from INDIA. Their plane was suppose to land in SLC at 6:30pm. But then we found out (after making it all that way safely, and then to have trouble on the very last part of their trip) their flight was delayed indefinitely. They FINALLY got in the air, headed here, and we all made it to the airport to greet them, with signs and balloon, just as mom said she invisioned it. After waiting AND waiting, AND waiting...no sign of them, we got word that as they entered the SL area (and my mom & dad were prepping to get off the plane-lipstick, combing hair, etc), they were told they couldn't land and had to detour to Boise. WHAT???? My mom said of course she had a good cry at that point, and when we all got word of this we were so disappointed too.
The video captures our anti-climactic experience well!
They wouldn't be returning until 1:30-2am, so we all headed home, SAD, without having seen grandma & grandpa (Chris returned alone to pick them up).
Our reuniting came the next morning when we met at their ward to go to church together. Oh how wonderful that LONG awaited hug was!!!!

I cannot believe that!!!!! How frustrating for you all! A moment you envision for soooo long! And they were even in the SL area? Wow! So glad they ended up home safely though!
it was kind-of a funny night if you think back to it! the kids managed to hold it together pretty well, i guess! and now they're home and it's almost like they never left! it's been fun seeing so much of you guys lately!
