Christmas Day

Christmas day was very relaxing and laid back since it was just Eric and I and the kids. It also felt a bit strange - our first Christmas morning without family or friends in a very long time. We did our usual reading of the christmas story, opened presents, did the stockings, had breakfast and then chilled until we went to Augie & Heather's for dinner. Dinner was delicious, simple and a bit unorthodox. Augie made delicious fajitas and we had a spread of other mexican appetizers. Yum! Eric's cousin Joel and his wife Kathleen came over later and we played a game. Also, the kids all put on a christmas play that they had worked on with their cousins and even had rehearsals the week prior. It was a great day being able to hang out with family. I am very grateful for the family we were able to be with and missed very much those who weren't there.




Rachel, Sarah and I made fleece blankets for Ryan, Matthew and Eric. Go Broncos!

Rachel was so sweet and gave Sarah her old and favorite jean jacket.

New fleece vests from Grandmom and Poppy.

The big surprise - a Wii. The kids had no idea they were getting one and it has been so much fun.
