Flying High in Colorado

We were finally able to go to Denver this year for Christmas and after a huge snowfall, 2 snowdays for school and delayed flights and canellation, we made it to Denver on December 24th. When we got here I couldn't believe my eyes, NO SNOW which is a huge change from the 24 inches we left behind in Spokane. The weather was a cool 50 degrees and sunny. I couldn't ask for better weather in December.

My mom got Ethan a pass to go indoor sky diving for Christmas and it turned out to be the coolest thing ever. There are only 4 indoor windtunnels in the USA so this was an exciting opportunity for him. We got there early so Ethan could watch for about 30 minutes while we waited for our turn. He got a little apprehensive as his turn got closer, but he suited up and had a quick lesson on how to hold your body position with some hand signals from the instructor and then he was off. Here is a video of his final time going with instructor high up into the tunnel!!

Snow Day

We had a snow day today which was bitersweet, I really needed a day to catch up on house work and get ready for our trip, but I ended up spending a lot of my morning dealing with the snow outside.I also didn't bring anything with me from school, and didn't put anything away totally expecting to be there Thursday and Friday. Sadly, Ethan's school performance was cancelled and we will have to wait to see our drama performance, and we don't get to exchange gift or have our Friday brunch. Sad Sad..

Ethan loved it and was up early ready to go out.

I took Elijah out in the afternoon after his nap and here are some of my neighbors hard at work clearing the snow. They are so nice to help out~~

I asked Elijah where the snow was and he got some on his glove and tasted it.

He of course had to get Ethan's hockey stick out and smack the ball a few times before going to look for Ethan up the hill.


Elijah's face as we are walking up to watch Ethan sled, Priceless!

Three boys in one room

Here is what happens when three boys start horsing around in one room, they always end up wrestling or hurting each other. Eli joined in on the fun this time and it was pretty funny.

Christmas Card Fun

Elijah opened a musical christmas card today and he loved it, he was dancing with it all afternoon opening and shutting it on his own, eventually. Here is a clip to enjoy-

Christmas Party

I went to my first work Christmas party last night at McGlades and it was a lot of fun. I went with a coworker since my husband was at another Hockey Tournament. I had a great time with everyone until the staff at McGlades decided to play a little game to see who could name the gifts for the 12 days of Christmas. We all wrote our guesses on paper and then they drew names. I never win anything but tonight of course my name gets drawn and for a super fun twist, they said the winner had to sing the song. It was awful, but I got threw it except that I sang the song backwards because I was so nervous. At least I got a free pie out of the deal.

Merry Christmas!!
