Christmas in Colorado Part 3

Christmas Morning a blast!  I got a wake up call/phone call..I guess a simply knock on the door doesn't happen anymore..ha ha.  The kids doors were wrapped in wrapping paper, so they couldn't get a sneak peak downstairs.  So Josh called ma and pa...and we got ready and watched them bust through the paper...So fun!! We had a Great Christmas...I was spoiled beyond belief.   I got some much needed sheets, a camera, pajamas and a cookbook..which I have tried a couple recipes..so far so good!!  The older boys got Nintendo 3D's and legos, Grace screamed when she got her ipod shuffle.  I had no idea that girl was that into music.  Cooper got the coolest Thomas the Train wooden table.  So awesome! 
 
Josh and Payton loving their oranges...weirdo's.
 
 
Peanut butter m&m's...you can't go wrong.
 

 Coop got some cars that go on his Thomas the Train tracks...Awesome.
 
 
Grace and her iPod!
 
 
Payton and Mario Cart
 

Josh I think collects the cars cars and there were a couple he wanted and they were found and bought Christmas Eve!
 
 
More cars for the Coop
 
 
Perfect reaction for the Perfect gift...
 
 
These kids spent all day putting together their lego's
 
 
 Don't take your eyes off the screen even for a picture.
 
 
Jeff got some snow shoes...
 
 
2 Peas in a Pod...Jana in the background wrapped up in her new blanket.
 
 
Reindeer left their mark on the front steps...Cooper thought it was pretty cool!
 
 
 Fried Turkey..Nuff Said
 
 
 Nothing like frying up a turkey in the snow.
 
Jeff keeping a close eye on the turkey..sat outside for 45 min while it cooked.  He also got to talk to Jordan on the phone, while cooking it.

Christmas in Colorado!

This year I ventured out to Colorado Springs for Christmas!  I spent some serious quality time with my brother, Jeff and his Family.  I had never been there before, so I was very excited for this.  My first whole day there we went to ZooLights, which was a blast and a little chilly and very hilly...Got a work out. 
 
 We were able to go see the giraffe's inside and feed them.  They are so awesome.  Jeff has a pretty funny Picture of me feeding the Giraffe's..It was a little scary!! 

 This is the family...needless to say one of the Giraffe's got a little frisky with Jeff...nothing like a Licky kiss right in the mug....notice how he is trying to get away...ha ha
 I love Elephants!!!
 The Lions were awesome! 
 Mountain Lions!!
 Group Shots!!

The next day they took me too the outlets in Castle Rock..Pretty nice...We went to there favorite restaurant Jim-n-Nicks...best barbeque ever.  Off to downtown Denver to a German Festival....some seriously cute outfits...wish I took some pictures.  Then on the way home we stopped by the Denver Temple...It was beautiful!!
A little blurry, but you get the point!!

First time is a charm...

Yesterday was Reyn's 4th Birthday..Well her momma, Angie, always makes fun cakes!! Well I asked in a joking way if I could help and she said yes. I am not going to lie, but I thought she was nuts. She showed me how to make the cute little things with the little cake tip...I have no idea what these things are called. Anyways...I did all the pink...and Angie did most of the work...made the cake, shaped it into Hello Kitties face, made the frosting, did all the white, bow and the cute face!! I will say I was quite proud of myself and shockingly I liked doing it...It was very theraputic! Who would have thought! Look at how cute that is!!!

Oh how i miss them...

I am really missing my Family!!! All of them!! I wish I could just see them and hug them and maybe even Kiss them!! I Love them so much and I wish we all lived right by each other. I don't know if it is because I worked all through the holidays and barely saw Angela and her family or if I just need a quick family fix...someone come visit me!!!
