We were able to go to Colorado for Christmas. Kris and I hadn't been back to Colorado together for 2 years! It was wonderful to be home for a few days with the family...we didn't want to leave. Everyone was home except Scott and Jennie and their girls (they are in China). We missed them! We were able to bring Grandma Curtis home with us and enjoyed spending time with her.
The Brothers
On Christmas Eve we all went down town to the musical, "Christmas Carol". It was really well done and a great way to feel the Christmas spirit.
Later that night, we had a nice dinner with our Curtis cousins and my Dad put on an inspiring program about the origination of a few of the Christmas Carols. We also read the Birth of Christ from the Bible. And, we were able to Skype with Scott and Jennie and their girls! We ended the night with our tradition of driving around to see the pretty lights and luminaries.
Here we are with our new comfy slippers from Mom and Dad.
We still line up from youngest to oldest to walk down the stairs to open gifts Christmas morning, while singing our family Christmas Song "Wish Ya Merry Christmas".
Kris and I got a blendtec for Christmas this year, and are REALLY enjoying it. It has some serious power! We love making green smoothies with it.
While we were all home my brother Nathan set up a big fooseball tournament. It was a lot of fun (and I might add that the "BLT" won the championship game...Brent and Lindsay team). Here is Mom and Dad with their game face.
The family all went skiing and had a blast. I opted not to go since I was 8 months pregnant :)
