Holiday Travels

We had a very Merry Christmas and are so blessed to have wonderful family everywhere. Christmas this year was in Idaho with my mom’s family and we had so much fun. I rode the train for the first time on the way there, we went on an old fashioned sleigh ride, and had fun playing broom ball and kick ball on the pond by my grandparents house. The big damper to the trip was that at the last minute Matthew had to work on Christmas and was not able to get to Idaho until the evening of the 26th. It was too short of a trip but we made the most of every moment.

We hurried home from Idaho just in time for New Years Eve which we celebrated with the Marlow’s and Dana’s immediate family that was in town for the holidays. We were able to get about four hours of sleep before Scott and Danae Dueck (Some of our best friends from Littleton) showed up at our doorstep for a weekend visit. The photographers took some amazing pictures by the river. We all decided that next time we hope it is above ten degrees outside before we decide to go out for a couple hours. Scott and Danae gave us a refresher course on the game Settlers of Catan and we played all weekend! I think that is the next game on our list. In short we are blessed with great family and friends.
