Christmas in Colorado

Well Christmas in Colorado was a blast. We got to go skiing, climbing, swimming, and played racquetball. We ate so much good food and saw so many old friends and family that we were just dying to see and cant wait to see again.It was so fun to go skiing with my parents, Steve Kris Andy and Jen, and Taryn and Joey. We went to Copper and Keystone, not the greatest snow but it was warm like spring skiing. Taryn and Joey let us stay at their condo overnight while my parents watched Wesley what a treat! My good long time friend Jen Downing and her husband Will had a little dinner at her house too and Taryn and Joey came as well as Kathy and Steve. It was so good to see them, i miss all my Colorado friends. Wesley liked his ride from Jens youngest son Cadence. We also got to go swimming at the rec center, it was nice to get wet! Taryn's family had a great party for a couple of graduations and so we got to see more old friend there too, the Brody family looked great!




We had a rockin good time climbing with our good friends Andy and Jen at The Spot Bouldering Gym in Boulder. So many routes so little time!




fun aprons my sister in Penn. sent us does that mean i will cook better? i wish it were that easy. if it were i would put it on danny more often!



Wesley was worn out but had good naps during lunch and fun in the tub with Issac. Is that Danny cooking down there? Yes he helped me make a delicious but Not nutritious breakfast. And the kids even got to go fishing for candy and toys!




Christmas morning




Around the house fun.




We had a Jolly good time, were able to do lots of fun activities. Wesley loved hanging out with his cousins and it was good to see old friends and family. I wish we were able to get more pics of everything, I'm a picture freak so I'm always thinking more pictures the better.I got no photos with my great friend since Jr. high Veronica and her super cute girl Eliana. We went to the park, ate, and chatted, its always good to talk with her.I am really lucky to have such good long time friends that do a good job keeping in touch, it means the wold to me. And super lucky to have such a great family that is fun to laugh with and that is so kind and supportive. It was quite packed at my parents house, for 2 weeks, it was like a little hotel. Fortunately we all managed to have our own room. Good food and fun all over the place, every corner you go around there was food and great people right there for ya.Wesley liked his little closet that he had to sleep in. There were quite a few closets used for sleeping in fact, good thing they were big and clean. Thanks to my parents for a great time and great hospitality, if it was my house I would probably go crazy. Well that was a long post, your probably glad its over now if you made till the end. thanks-The Bates
