Our "Christmas Vacation"

Our first stop on our very long road trip was in Vegas to see my Dad.


Pa and Logan were really into the train! I think Pa enjoyed it more than Logan did!!


My brother and I and his soon to be wifey, Anne =)

Gotta LOVE the one and only picture of the three of us...Taken by my brother!!

Another "not so great" shot taken by Rocky...

Someone found a bag of chips and thought if they hid under the table we couldn't see what he was into...LOL

Santa Rocky brought Anne a surfboard and she was soooo excited. Just not sure where she is going to ride it in Colorado...Ha ha ha!

Santa Anne got Rocky a new snowboard...Ok, now that's pratical for Colorado!! He just was having some issues getting it out of the box.

Logan loved the Hulk gloves!

Christmas morning!!

My Mom totally reminds me of a "granny" in this shot...Glasses on in the rocking chair...ha ha

Rocky and "papa" Ed.

Grandpa sleeping with the stuffed pony...Giddy up!

Logan praticing some of his hulk moves on Daddy!

Cousins - Michelle and Taylor helping set up Logan's marble race toy!

Love the "mouth full of food" shot and the closed eyes shot of Nana!

Yes, he really does know how to play. So he has Michelle and Logan's attention for just a second..lol

Sisters!

Nana opening her presents...What could be better...Framed pictures of Rocky...LOL

I think we were going for a "group shot" here but it really wasn't working out well...

Kathy and Kyle.

Once you get Nana going...your in trouble. Ha ha ha. Better them then me!! Love the look, Rocky...

And, the last picture of our trip was the "deer elk" I spotted on the freeway on our way home...I had to pull over.

P.S. There will be no Christmas suprises next year that involve 14 hour drives that turn into 21 hour drives with the dog in a SUV that was way too small!!!

Winterfest

We went to the Thornton Winterfest on their "opening" night to wander around with Logan and the dog...And, I was hoping for a Santa picture...As, you can see - I got my Santa picture. I'm really glad he didn't scream or cry - he just got super SUPER shy!! All in all it was a GREAT night! No meltdowns (Mommy or Logan..ha ha) and the dog even enjoyed herself!!

Now, Frosty was another story. He screamed his head off!! We didn't dare have him take his picture with the Grinch...LOL

This is us around the fire trying to keep warm while we waited for the lights to go on!!

Finally ALL the trees lit up! It was so neat seeing hundreds of things light up all at the same time!!

Logan waiting to see all the lights!

Dreyers Christmas Party

Thanksgiving Weekend

Finally, I've had some time to upload our Thanksgiving pictures! My Mom and Ed drove up from California to do Thanksgiving with us and we decided to do Christmas too with them since they won't see us on Christmas! Logan got really attached to them this trip and kept asking about them after they left. It was really cute - Logan saw Ed's coffee cup as I was loading it in the dishwasher and he says "papa?" and when he broke his train track he'd look at me and say "papa?" since Papa was the one helping him and building the track with him.

The night that they got in we took them up to Flatiron's to ice skate. Logan had a blast being drug around the rink and eatting his cookie...Until Daddy went a little too fast on one of the turns and Logan and cookie went flying across the ice.

Logan got TONS of stuff and was thrilled with each thing he opened. It was ALL about CARS the movie and his train table that finally made it's way from Grandma's house to his!!! The track you see him sitting with above went back to the store. It was HUGE. WAY too big for him. It wouldn't even fit on his train table and he kept getting frusturated with it...So, it went back and we got him a wooden track which is much better for him.

Peeling yams with the dogs. She brought her dog up with her so he could visit too =)

As you can see, my Mom is THRILLED that her turkey turned out.

And, she was also just as excited with the side dishes too so she had to take pic's on her cell phone..LOL.

Logan wasn't thrilled with Thanksgiving dinner. He had two bites of Turkey and gave his roll to the dog and wouldn't touch anything else. Maybe next year...

Logan was in awe of all the trees!!

Mommy and her snow angel. We drove up to Winterpark to get our Christmas tree.

This picture cracks me up. It's like the uni bomber times two...LOL

See...Our car in the background with the tree loaded up!!!

Bourbon LOVED the snow. She is totally a Colorado snow pup!!

Got home with the tree and found out that the tree was too tall for our living room so the tree had to be brought back outside so the guys could go to get a saw and chop some of the bottom off. Then, once they came back - the tree wouldn't stand up in the tree stand I bought...So, that took some more time and thought from them...LOL...THEN, the lights only half worked so off to Walmart the guys go to return the bad lights and thankfully all the new lights worked, the tree is up and looks great!!!
