Christmas in Colorado

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was filled with family, food, and boxes.

Katelyn and Sadie have really enjoyed being with their cousins. Here are the girls.

All of my family for lunch on Christmas eve with Great Grandma Thompson.

My brother Travis and Tara were able to come for Christmas this year from California. We loved spending some time with them. Sadie was Travis' new buddy for the few days he was here.

We also spent some time at Grandma P's house on Christmas Eve and got to see Ashton and Zarah.

Scott has the extreme pleasure (or problem) of sharing Jesus' birthday. This year we had him open his presents on Christmas eve and have his cake.

Christmas Morning

Later that day we all gathered at Sarah and Scott's house for dinner. Sadie really enjoyed playing with her Uncle Travis.

Katelyn loved her presents this year. Even though Santa didn't bring her what she asked for, (princess tent and a jack-in-the-box) she informed us that he got her even better things. She really liked her razor, unfortunately it was banned to be only played with in the garage because she kept running into walls. In this picture she has her new pretend kitty Max and her Webkinz puppy Sarah. Her cousins have showed her how to play with your Webkinz online and now we do this everyday. She even got Nate and I playing. We make more money for her so she can buy what her house and dog need. My parents gave her some new pj's that describe her perfectly. They are pink with cupcakes, donuts, cookies, and strawberries all over them. the shirt has a donut with a big smile on it's face and it says "Sprinkles make me smile."

Sadie had an interesting time with presents this year. All of the pictures I got of her opening presents are scowls. One reason, she hurt her wrist and had to open everything one handed and the other reason, she was exclaiming "How cute" or "This is just what I wanted" while making a face that really didn't mean what she was saying. She is one funny girl.

Nate and I both enjoyed our Christmas and the things we received. The money that was nicely given is going towards a new sectional and chair we purchased yesterday to go in our family room. Because of the move and all the craziness we didn't get Christmas cards out this year. To all our friends and family we hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season and the year to come will bring you all much happiness.

(And no, we don't know what the baby is yet. My ultrasound is scheduled for next week.)
