We had a great visit to Colorado last week for Thanksmas. Because it is crazy to travel during the actual week of Christmas/Thanksgiving, we started celebrating a late Thanksgiving and an early Christmas with my family.
Because the last two times I went to Colorado, I traveled for work, it really didn't feel like a vacation. However, this trip was strictly a vacation and it was a great visit with friends and family. The only hiccup was that Morgan developed a strange rash that covered her from head to toe - it didn't slow her down though. Because she usually gets an unusual illness while we are in Colorado, we almost come to expect someone getting sick while we are there!
We had a couple of 'firsts' while we were there - Morgan's first time sledding, making a snowman and snow angel, and eating 'snow ice cream' (snow ice cream really tastes like real ice cream - thanks
AMY!). Morgan even went to her first movie and also went to a musical (
Seussical the Musical) - although I think Matthew had more fun at the musical as he spent the time clapping and bouncing! Matthew also had a first - he finally started to crawl! (more about that later - he has picked up the skill super fast and is into
everything!)
Below are random pictures from our week vacation.
Hope you all have a blessed Christmas!
