Colorado family Christmas 2013

We had an amazing family Christmas in Glenwood Springs, Colorado with our kids.  It was so great seeing our 4 married kids since they all live out of state.  We had family coming from Wisconsin, Idaho, Washington, and Arizona meeting up in Colorado with Juli and Kelly hosting.  She showed us a great time and we were able to make wonderful memories.  Juli you are great for hosting such a big crowd and we had a great time.  Earlier in the month we were able to travel to Ohio to spend a few days with my mom and celebrate Christmas early with her.  It is pretty safe to say that our December was busy and amazing.  I love our family.   (Unfortunately my pictures are few because forgetting about the camera is so easy to do when such special times are happening and I just want to enjoy the moments) Kelly bought a karaoke machine and we did manage to get lots of video footage which was great.  Many laughs accompany them!

Brynlee, Juli, Ambreigh, and Beckham.  I love your sweet smiles.

Some fun snuggles during some family time!

Playing puzzles with Grandma!

Baby Vance loved his popsicles. And I love him!

Juli too her 5 baby sisters and her daughter Aubryn out for a girls night!  They had a great time enjoying some sweet treats and big sis taking them shopping!  Its hard to tell which one is the mom and big sis!  She's the one with the green sweats.  Such sweet ladies.  From left to right-Aubryn, Mary, Emma, Janai, Juli, Makenzie, and Kaydee

Apparently there is only ONE way to eat a chocolate covered strawberry.  Thanks Mary for the tutorial.

Colorado/Christmas/Family Fun

Christmas Eve day was we spent at the Glenwood Springs, Colorado Hot Springs pool with our family.  It began snowing during our swimming which made it even more special.  Thanks Juli for the family gift.  We had a great time!

Instead of forming the line "outside" of the pool to wait their turn on the diving my family decided to stay put in the water rather than freeze standing outside the pool!

It wasn't easy to gather everyone together for a big group shot but we got a few together for a pose.  The others were off swimming or diving off the board!

We spent one of days in Manitou Springs and visiting Garden of the Gods with Aunts, Uncles, and lots of cousins!  Here are some of my girls posing with mama!
