We had beautiful weather this Christmas; it wasn't winter weather, but it was beautiful. The kids played outside in short sleeves all day on Christmas Eve. We made sugar cookies and drove around to see all the Christmas lights on the houses. The kids had a very fun Christmas morning. Mia got a new bed set for her new queen bed. Mason got lots of nerf guns. Brant got Thomas the Train stuff. But the coolest thing we got was Neo Trax.....definitely the biggest hit this Christmas. They are tracks that kids can put together all by themselves and they can move and build tunnels and do all sorts of stuff. All of the kids played with them all day (They still beg to get them out 4 months later, so I think we have a winner.) We had Christmas lunch/dinner and then headed up to the mountains to try to find some snow so we could use our snow shoes. We had to drive very far and very high up in the mountains to find some, but we finally got enough that we could snow shoe.
Jared made a huge fort in the basement for the kids and they spent several days down there during their break before their mean mom made them take it down.
All in all it was a wonderful Christmas break and a nice first Christmas in our very own home.

Love the fort! Glad you guys had a great Christmas! (And, yes, I did laugh when I saw you were posting Christmas 4 months late. ha ha) Can't believe you had such nice weather! That's Denver for you.
What a cute family, I can't believe how big they are.
