Thanksgiving and Christmas all in one

I'm so behind, I don't know why I can't find the time to update! So Thanksgiving we went to my friend, Kate's house.  She had all kinds of people there and the kids loved the activity.  They made turkey apples and pilgrim hats.  In between Thanksgiving and Christmas we had Ella's birthday, she turned 4! And I didn't take a single picture!  I can't believe it.  We didn't do much, we had a cake which Joey ate with our backs turned, ugh.  We went downtown Littleton and saw Santa come down the main street.  It was freezing but we had a great time.  Then it was our 10th wedding anniversary and my birthday.  My parents watched the kids and we got to stay at Vail for the weekend.  Unfortunately there wasn't any snow, but we made up for it by taking the gondola up the mountain, went to an amazing spa, and saw a movie where they served dinner in the theater!  It was nice to getaway.
  Sometime in December we went to a Christmas parade in Golden.  This is where we got married, it's so strange to drive through there again.  The kids got to ride little wagons with Newfoundland dogs pulling them, they were so cute.
   Maybe this is why I haven't blogged, there is so much going on for us between Nov-Dec.  Then it was Christmas, it even snowed on Christmas day which was beautiful.  My grandpa who is 96 flew in from Florida along with my Aunt Carolyn.  We spent the day tearing open presents and eating.  Just how it should be.
Antlers!
