This year was a Christmas of firsts for us. It was our first year without traveling. Our first year with our own live tree, my first year making the Marshall secret toffee by myself (no burns this year, but I attached last years picture just for kicks), and the first white Christmas that I can remember.
Christmas morning we woke up to new snow on the ground and snow falling. It continued all day and finally stopped around 10pm with about 10 inches of new snow. It was an amazing sight to see and we're pretty glad we stuck around for it.
We celebrated Christmas eve at the Leavitts. Tara made an incredible beef tenderloin dinner, we played bingo for prizes, we had a goofy gift exchange, and we rocked out to Karoake. Spencer and I had Christmas morning at our house, pretty quiet with 2, but fun. We made mom's coffee cake for breakfast and then we headed back to the Leavitts that afternoon. We played their new Wii, ping pong and pool, and Jason hooked a sled to the back of the quad and took the kids on sleigh rides around the neighborhood.
I've decided that life would be pretty great if no one had to work and we could all hang out with family and friends and play all day.
It's so fun to have family in town, and it turned out to be a great Christmas in Colorado.
Happy New Year.
