Our own little Christmas, early

We spent Christmas in Las Vegas, so we had our own little Christmas in Denver before we left - at 11 p.m. Better than waking up early! We enjoyed opening our presents at home, so we didn't have to haul everything.

Colorado Christmas

Christmas in Colorado came a few days early this year. We celebrated for 5 days!! Above is our family picture - thank you Emily for being our photographer! It was fun to have everyone together, and dressed so festively!

Gingerbread houses were taken too an entire new level this year, as an enchanting village.

We had a music recital & talent show as part of our celebrations. The kids/family had 6+ recitals & performances during the month of December, so we had everyone perform again when we were all together. Kids played piano, sang, Uncles sang, Grandma played the violin, kids comedy, ...
Uncle playing the violin!!! Western shirt & all (fiddling?).
