Uncle Bob passes through Colorado!

Uncle Bob drove into town today so we met up for some bison burgers and catching up. It was great to see him again! Sending him your way, California!

In this pic me and my sister are wearing ponchos that were sent to u
s by are grandma (the best in the world).We had descoverd them in a closet from a while ago and mysteriously fit us perfectly.

Happy New Year!

The bugs rang in the New Year with some sparkling cider and learning how to embroider! Mom's skills are pretty rusty so we took it slow. Even so, Lizzie sewed her work to her jeans!

The inspiration to learn embroidery seems to have come from seeing young girls stitch in the American Girl movies.

Merry Christmas to All!

Cookies for Santa and reindeer food!

Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday! Thank you for all the thoughtful gifts and cards!!

Waiting for Santa

Lizzie ACTULLY turns 10!

On Lizzie's actual birthday, we drove to Breckenridge for some festive skiing. Lizzie's birthday dinner of choice was meatloaf so we cooked up dinner and then packed it for a little trip. En route, Lizzie recieved a call from the the Harvey's who sang happy birthday to her over the phone - good friends! We enjoyed a 'home-cooked' meal in Breck and then went to play some billiards, Lizzie's new passion.

Day two of skiing, we woke up to some pretty terrific snow! Hope you all are looking forward to extra family time this holiday season!

Please take a moment to admire our new pets in the side bar, and look for the "more" button for full effect. Grand-Marie/Mere gave us the idea from her blog. We love it!

Lizzie prepares to turn 10!
