Christmas Vacation

We had another great Christmas in Colorado this year!  Spent lots of time with friends and family, met two new additons to the family, baby Ellie and baby Owen, and had a very fun and relaxing holiday with the kids.  It's crazy how much we still miss Colorado and we are especially reminded of that around the holidays.  Thanks so much to everyone for such a great trip.  My pics are completely out of order, and I didn't have my camera nearly as much as usual, so I missed a bunch of stuff, but here they are nonetheless. 
 Some amazing Christmas Eve photos courtesy of Uncle Ross - the train around Grammy and Papa's tree continues to be hours of entertainment for the kids
These are actually from the week before we left - Santa at Matt's office.  Alec was sure to tell us again this year that it was just a "Santa helper," because he had on work shoes under his costume.
4 boys and a little lady
Christmas morning
Tracking Santa on NORAD
Perfect example of why these kiddos all adore Bub - stickers on the face
Lots of popcorn and movie watching
Sleepover with cousin Reid
 These 2 even got in a mountain biking ride
We went on an awesome horse drawn sled ride up at Mount Vernon - one of the highlights of the trip.
Annual cookie decorating party with all my childhood friends
Someone found boxing gloves and wouldn't take them off
The boys, particularly Charlie, adored Owen
And that's it, next year I'll take more pictures:))

These are just terrific. I laughed out loud at some, and wanted to cry at others. We were happy you could be here and hope the tradition continues.
