Christmas 2011

This was not a good year for Family pictures at all! :(

I'm so sad to say. We need a new camera and will probably get one

soon. 

But we did have some feeble attempts at good family pictures

Thursday evening:

Richard got off of work at normal time. We had a sorry excuse for a dinner

(mostly b/c I did not want to cook and was on vacation mode)

Then drove around Fort Collins and saw all the beautiful lights.

Boys in their christmas pj's :)

It's always fun trying to drive around town to find the coolest

neighborhood. And we have to pick out our favorite house. :)

We also got stuck in the snow. :) It was a beautiful night for light-seeing. Just snowed and the town

was glistening.

One particular street was not plowed well at all. and yes, we got stuck

What a fun memory of Carson scared to death in the back,

landon sound asleep,

and Richard pushing the car

while I try to gun it out. :)Only with our Alero in Colorado :)

The rest of the Christmas season was spent in Grand Junction CO

Woke up super early Friday Morning

made the 5 hour trek to Grand Junction

We had beautiful scenery. It had snowed a ton about a day before.

The mountains were just amazing

the wildlife along the road was so cool.

The boys were showered with gifts

and love from both sides

of our families.

Our day was filled, literally filled, with 

good food, skyping distant family, chatting with present family

and playing trains with the boys.

We did have a little bit of sickness.

Landon had a fever for like 4 days. Low Grade and no other symptoms

but momma was starting to worry

then, as fast as it came on it left. :/ What can I say?
Teeth?!?? i have no idea!

We are so thankful! 

And we had a great Christmas Season!

Now onto New Years!
