Christmas 2014

7 of us before Travis & Cynthia arrived
Cynthia at the Wildlife Exhibit in Parker- they had a Lego exhibit so if it had just been the 4 of us we would have stayed there all day
Connor playing cards with Grandma & Grandpa
Thinking
The closest they have ever come to a "great Christmas picture". Maybe next year.

We have never had family live close, the ONE advantage I see to this is holidays. Everyone gets together and gets 100% attention and closeness for 4-5 days. Waking up Christmas morning and seeing the boys excitement then open presents there and then and then no more of this PRESENTS hype is so nice. I know I would not love going from one relatives house and another bouncing all over with presents in the trunk. I love the Christmas prep, the cooking, the eating and the game playing. Went on a double date with T&C so Mom & Dad could get a bubble bath and story time under their belts before heading back to Reno.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

Christmas Party

We both love an excuse to go shopping; i.e. new dress and suit! Downtown was so lively it was crazy to see a downtown to vibrant.  Merry Christmas
 Connor took his hat off at the top of the stairs when I came out with my dress on and said "ladies first". I asked him who taught him that and he said he did. Hmm?

my sweet baby boy

He is delicious. I always ask him who he is. He use to respond Ryan John. Sense living in CO he replies, "Mommy it's me, your sweet heart".

Mini Remodel

With 5 family members coming to Denver to celebrate baby Jesus we need to spruce things up! The trim in the dining room and living room are finally installed as well as the 6 panel doors, under the windows are now white, old birch wood blinds replaced with white. I think my favorite thing is the thing I almost didn't do- oil rubbed bronze hinges and hardware.


Aunt Jeannie walked me through how to install our new Moen fixtures in the guest bath. Now just need delicious food and Wizard card games.

Santa

Our adorable neighborhood had a come visit with Santa today. Sleigh rides, hot coco, cookies and of course glow sticks ??. It was located right next to the play ground so the  boys could play while I waited in line. We will 100% do this every year- can't be free traditions!
