Happy Holidays!

This past week, Ian and I made the 15 hour drive back to Oklahoma to visit our families for Christmas. We had a wonderful time getting to be with our families, even if it was only for 10 days! While we were home, Oklahoma was hit with a blizzard. Yes, I said a blizzard!!! Who would have thought that we would come home from Colorado and actually have a WHITE Christmas!!!

My nieces have grown so much and are still as precious as ever! Kenzie has started learning how to play the violin at school. So... on Christmas Eve, Ian and I got our very own, private violin recital! I will post pictures and videos soon!

Kodi enjoyed playing with Zoe and Gracie at both of our parents homes. I think she is in withdrawal now that we are home and she just has us to entertain her.

The drive home was as uneventful as the drive to Tulsa, which was a blessing after the snow, sleet and ice we had experienced. I am looking forward to New Years Eve in Aspen and a wonderful 2010!!!

It is so nice to look forward to a new year rather than dreading what is to come! How things have changed in my life from this time last year to today! God has a way of bringing people together and putting us where we need to be at the right times.

I hope that everyone has a blessed and happy new year! I will see you in 2010!

December Update

So life has been rather hectic and crazy for us lately... hence the monthly updates!

We had a snow day last week after it started snowing on Monday. Apparently it dumped between 4-6 inches (or more) in various parts of the valley. I didn't mind as it meant that I got to spend the day at home with Ian and Kodi! We went to the dog park and played for a bit before going for a short hike.

This week we are preparing to come home to Tulsa for a week to visit our families. So much to do and so little time to get it done around our jobs and all. We did manage to get our Christmas cards out this week... Ian got the pictures uploaded and "cleaned up" in photoshop so we could print the pictures and stuff the envelopes! He is wonderful, have I mentioned that lately?
