CHRISTMAS!








Christmas weekend was beautiful. Colorado had been hit with around 12 inches of snow only days before Christmas so we had a gorgeous white Christmas here and couldn't have enjoyed it more. Christmas Eve morning, Ahma, Ahpa, Daddy, Mommy and Nevi all went to the Denver Aquarium to have 'Brunch with Santa'. Santa came to the Aquiarium to, yes be with the kiddos, but he also went SCUBBA DIVING with the fish and sharks! Santa was IN the aquariums, along with his elf and a couple of beautiful mermaids. We all ate a pretty nice brunch whil writing a letter ot Santa and watching the awesome underwater entertainment. Christmas Day was the usual unrevealing of presents but we also went SLEDDING down some perfect hills within walking distance on the Ryan Elementary School grounds. Nevi absolutely LOVES sledding and goes down by herself hollering the whole way down. Just listening to her makes ya smile. Nevi also enjoyed Chuck E Cheese with Ahma and Ahpa while Robb and I made a trip up into the mountains of Boulder (Gold Hill) for a magical evening of live music at the Gold Hill Inn. This is our third annual trip to Gold Hill over Christmas weekend to hear our friend and neighbor play his guitar in a mountain cabin that makes you feel like you're home. Probably our last 'date' before our baby boy is born and believe me, we enjoyed every second of it. Christmas always reminds of how truly lucky we are in this life, with family and with love.
