The last of the Christmas pictures!

OK, after this post I am officially done blogging/posting pictures from the holidays! But I had to include some pictures from our trip to Denver since that is where we actually spent Christmas this year. This was my first Christmas not in the South. I've only spent December 25th in Florida or Georgia so I've never really had a "white" Christmas and before moving to Georgia, it was just a treat to not have to use the air conditioning during Christmas dinner.

As with all of our trips and vacations, this one was not without a few trips to the local ER and pediatrician. Just before leaving for the Atlanta airport to travel to Denver, my mom fell down OUR basement stairs (how do you spell G-U-I-L-T?) and banged herself up pretty badly. She ended up fracturing both arms and busting up her face, requiring some stitches. So the first few days in Denver were spent getting her into the orthoped, stitches removed, etc. She was so excited about Christmas with all 4 grandkids and then couldn't even pick them up. :( In addition to that, naturally Noah was sick and shared his bug with David and I. We took him to the pediatrician in Denver (the same one we saw this past summer when he was sick again on vacation). When leaving their office they half-jokingly said "So will we be seeing you at Spring Break?" I can't believe we have our own pediatrician 2000 miles away and they even have a fairly thick file on our child! Anyway, we all managed to have a fun time despite illnesses and injuries! It was very cold; there was snow on the ground but no new snow while we were there; Uncle David and Aaron took the girls snow skiing for one day; the kids thoroughly enjoyed playing with each other; Santa found us all the way out there in Denver; Noah LOVED his new toys; Stacy cooked a fabulous Christmas dinner; We had lots of good family time and even spent most nights playing games or watching movies. It was a great holiday for us!
