4 Christmas' and a Vacation

Well as usual, our holiday time is pretty hectic, and it started early this year, We had our first family "Christmas" the first week in December.  That one was for my dad's side of the family, Uncle Steve made his famous enchiladas, which were excellent as usual,  and a good time was had by all (except for maybe Owen, who kept getting beaned by balls every time he came in the room,  of course the people throwing the balls were the LOML and my child.. no surprise there)

Next was our crazy weekend, on Saturday morning we went to my mothers for the family "Christmas", which as usual was pretty exciting.  There were gifts with multiple tags, there will gifts with the wrong tags, there will gifts to people that the tag said it was from them!

The stove smoked up the house and as usual there was no where near enough food for all of us  (yeah right)  The three of us then ran off to the PG party at billy bobs,  then came back to my moms to drop M off, then went home to change, then E and I went to the PG concert that night at Billy Bobs,  we got home very late in the evening (or early in the morning, depending on how you want to look at it) and got up early and went back to my moms because we had "Christmas" for her side of the family that day at her house.  All in all M got way too many presents (and way too many Nerf guns) and we all had a good time seeing family.

Next was E's side of the family, we met his parents for dinner one evening and had a short but sweet Christmas but as usual with our hectic schedule, that is all the time we could pull together.

Then, we were off to Colorado,  we rented a house just north of Idaho Springs, got 2 feet of snow on the ground the first day we were there, and had a good time relaxing and getting away from it all.  We did manage to do a few things while were there, like go to the Argo Tunnel and Mill

The Railroad museum  (second best railroad museum we have been to)

The Coors Tour

Had many Snowball Fights

(cant have a snowball fight without a fort Squidward....  you didnt let me crouch down!)

and santa even managed to find us out there on the mountain and bring M a few things..

All in all it was a great December and a good way to close out 2011

here's looking forward to 2012!
