Christmas Vacation

Christmas break was so much fun. We traveled to Colorado to spend the holidays with my family. It was so wonderful to make the trip and get there all in one day! We are loving that. We got horrible gas mileage this year though because we brought the trailer filled with all our Christmas things and everything we needed for the trip. It was nice to have the room but a bit costly. The weather in Colorado was so warm and unusual. It felt like spring! It was a nice break from the cold in Idaho but it didn't quite feel like Christmas weather wise. It turned out to be a nice blessing though because the kids got new bikes for Christmas this year so on Christmas day it was warm enough that the kids could go outside and ride their new bikes and not freeze. A fun surprise for the kids this year was from Grandma and Grandpa. They bought some bunk beds for all the grandkids to sleep on when they come visit! The kids loved it and it was so fun to have a space of their own while we were there. Grandma also got them each their very own winter blanket and pillow. While we were there we went and saw Santa, we played with our sweet cousin Danica, we went to the movies, went bowling, and drove up to Telluride to ride the gondola and see the ski town at Christmas time. It was a wonderful trip and we are so glad we went. Thanks mom and dad and Brandie for having us there and putting up with us all! :) We love you guys!

Before we left for CO. we gave the kids our family Christmas gift for this year.
We are having fun with it!
