Santa Fail

As mentioned previously, we had a lot of failed attempts at a photo with Santa. So I had to do my best to get a holiday photo at home. Next year we'll be ready for you Santa.

A Colorado Christmas Part II

I know a bit delayed, we've all had some sort of bug over the last few weeks and have been crazy busy on top of that. But as promised, here is Colorado Christmas Part II.
Grandma joined us as we attempted (multiple times) for a Santa picture. Failed, but we did have fun at Bass Pro Shop and hanging out around Boulder.

SNOW!

Someone did not want a picture.

Unsure about this ride

Stella's enjoying it

So is Gracie

Now she's feeling it

No pictures, mom!

Finally got them to all sit still for one photo

Bear!

A night out...

For the kids...

A lot of beer was had

Christmas Day Fun

A Colorado Christmas - Part 1

The Rickert and Shearer families joined us in Colorado for some Christmas fun - and fun we had. It was a busy week chasing around a 4 yo (Gracie) and 2- twenty month olds (Audrey and Stella). Our house was full, weather was great and we loved every minute of the time together. The first day was full of fun in Denver with an Ugly Sweater Run around 'beautiful' Commerce City and the Denver Zoo (where every animal put on a great show).

Spaghetti night - shirts off!

The kids at the 'kids' table. The adult table was taken up by the kids of course.

Getting jingly for the run

A bit chilly before the run.

Pretty Rickert girls.

Silly girls all piled in.

Something very interesting at the zoo.

Monkey cruised right over us...and then peed...

High five for shoulder rides!

Cuddling with Gracie

Bears!

We watched the bears for awhile.

They were captivating.

And huge!
