Christmas in Colorado.... enough said! My whole family was there besides Nat and her family and my parents. I have to say that not having my parents there was a bit hard for me. But I guess if they couldn't be there then a mission is the only place I would be okay with. I got to Colorado and it was nothing but wonderful! I stayed at my house, which Jenn's family lives for now. My kids were so excited to see everyone!
We started our trip just hanging out and watching my darling nephew Nikson! I got to go up to G and Stace's house to meet my new nephew Jace!What a beautiful little boy. He for sure made me so excited for our little boy to come!Then we got to go for a swim and every night watched Wallace and Grommit which is Cash's new obsession! I mean new obsession he bawls his eyes out if he can't watch the movie for the 10th time in a row!
Then it happened.... The snow! It came and came and I was thrilled! Forest Grove does not snow! No it does not! We got Belle out there and everyone else joined and I stayed in with Lydia and Cash watching out the window. The kids and my big kid Monkey looked like they were having a blast! Monkey was jumping off everything, tackling BEN... poor Ben, digging and Ammon and Ben made a killer fort hole thing! Belle finally had it after she biffed it off the igloo!
Then they came home and everyone warmed up with a rockin dance party. And Jenn won best dressed at Walmart!!! Haaha just kidding Jenn! Later in the week we had all the Jones kids over! We danced, had a modeling show, Charly I decided is the next Taylor Swift, and played our hearts out!
Christmas Eve morning we met Ryan and Charlie at our sledding hill! Cooper and Belle were lovin each other! They were flyin down the hill by THEMSELVES and crashed and just layed on the snow! And ate it! I went down and to my surprise I headed straight for a huge jump!!! Good thing I am pregnant and weigh a lot extra because I didn't even make it up the jump! I just ran into it! Then Ben ran into me and we layed there and laughed forever!
Our first week of the trip was out of this world fun! Christmas Eve all the kids seemed so giddy! How could they not be... Santa was coming. Cash was walking around singing Santa Clause is comin to town! And I really enjoyed sitting on the couch the only thing missing was my Mom sitting with me laughing and my Dad walking in and out of the room saying it's almost time!!! We all ate so much already and WOW does my fam know how to make killer food! We all got ready to head over to Allison house for Christmas Eve dinner... This year they put me in charge of the program. Mom... I never knew how much work went into that... well just getting all the costumes together for the nativity! Mercy!
