Christmas 2015

 Always living away from family I think makes me appreciate Holiday's that much more. My parents help with the kids, the food, the clean up and house projects. Why don't they move in to our basement already??
In some ways I really glad that my cell phone has been no where in sight for 5 days but the disadvantage is I didn't take any Christmas day pictures. Grabbed the "fancy camera" today our last day and snapped a few gems.
 New Christmas books. If you have little ones and some how don't know about Author Mo Willems you really are missing out.
Hope your Xmas ''15 was merry and bright! ~Love, us.

Connor's First Time Skiing

How cool is it that we can just "go skiing"? Ray took the day off to get Connor out on the slopes for the first time on a "warm" day when hopefully not the whole world would be there. Arapahoe Basin was go down on this blog for memory sakes of Connor's first ever ski mountain. He was in ski School 9-1. They are headed home now so I haven't gotten the details but Ray did say Connor said his throat hurts...let's hope the boy with a tonsillectomy doesn't have strep just in time for Christmas.

Updates

Wow that quite possibly was the longest we've ever gone between blog posts- are you still checking this out or have you now lost faith that we will ever update again?

This weekend was a busy one. Ray somehow convinced me that we needed to spend some Capital One rewards points and jet set to Scottsdale. I think he sold it to me as a 80 degrees with a  hot tub. It was 71 and overcast and no hot tub. It was a fun work holiday party though, everyone was glowing about Ray and the work he does. I wish blogspot.com would let me post videos because I can't really describe the "entertainment" they had. It was circus o lay style acrobats up on the ceiling on these hula hoops. Their also was an ice luge to take shots off of. Did I mention that Snoop Dog was at our hotel?

We got home around 1, unpacked just in time to go pick up the kiddo's from their 24 hour adventures at Casey & Mike's house. They were in their church's nativity/holiday event and spend the next day at  the Colorado Springs version of the North Pole. As Connor said, "Santa was on break" aka probably smoking a joint as CS is a hippy type of town.

Tonight we had the Denver holiday party downtown. It was hard to navigate our way down their as the party was congruent to the holiday 2 mile parade.


Seeing this picture gives me two perspectives; we are starting to look our age and are not mistaken as a older sister or babysitter when out with our children.  Also not getting carded very often. The downside is I am starting to spend time in the Target "beauty aisle" and my ears perk up if I hear someone talking about Botox. Not their yet, but ask me again tomorrow. PS i'm growing my hair out for my cousins wedding so its going to be getting real here so just accept the ponytails and hats I'll be modeling the next 9 months.
