Christmas

This Christmas was the first Christmas we have spent with family in a couple of years. The past two years we have opted for a beach holiday in January instead of the big traditional family Christmas in Denver. Each year we have done this we thoroughly enjoy the vacation but miss the special closeness that comes with a big family Christmas. So this year we did it. We battled the crowds and the weather and made the flight to D town. It was perfect. The kids made Christmas cookies with Grandma, we did some holiday shopping, lots of holiday eating, visited with friends, played and relaxed. Kids make Christmas the best thing ever. The look on their faces Christmas morning is priceless and the excitement they have while playing with their cousin and being around so much love is simply awesome. We cherished every moment and I don't think we missed a thing! Here are a couple of highlights...
