Holiday Happenings

It's officially the holiday season here in Colorado! I had great plans of having the lights up the weekend after Thanksgiving but we came home to quite a bit of snow, 8 inches by the time the storm left. So needless to say my lights had to wait! But here they are! Jeremy spent several hours putting up the outside lights on Saturday. And they are definatly to my liking! While he was putting the lights on the 2 trees in front he managed to fall off the ladder... it was a short fall... and although it was very scary for Adie to watch her Daddy fall, he was fine and it turned out to be really funny! Just the next day we were hit with another snow storm... which makes the perfect outdoor Christmas picture, well in my opinon anyway. So here's the lights, the house and the start of the snow storm which continued all night and most of the day today. It's really pretty but VERY cold... it was only in the high 20's today... burrrr!Merry Christmas from our house!
Snow falling and falling and...
this is the toy tree... decorated with mostly all Mickey and Disney ornaments! I love this tree! Notice there are no presents under this tree... I couldn't keep Adie from trying to open them!
This is the pretty tree! I can't help it... I'm a designer for a living... I needed that perfectly decorated tree... I would like to add some more stuff to it though...
Adie decided she just had to go outside and play in the snow. She even got herself dressed in her coat, hat and shoes! Jeremy and I watched her from inside the house... it was WAY to cold outside for us! She had a great time and stayed out at least 20 minutes... her adventure ended when she decided to step off the porch into the yard and had snow up to her butt, which made her very wobbely. She promptly fell over, got snow all in her shoes and coat and decided it was time to come sit by the fire!

Oh a different note... our local town center hosted a "Home Town Holiday" celebration for the kids and families last weekend. It was cold, in the mid 30's, but we decided to attend for a while. They had a train ride for the kids, a horse drawn carriage, tons of kid activities and most exciting was the fireworks at the end of the evening! Adie had a great time, which makes it even more fun for us! Isn't it great to watch your kids thourghly enjoy themselves!

The town tree - dinky if you ask me!
This was really funny! While we were waiting in line for the horse drawn carriage Adie decided she wanted to wait with the other kids on the bench. She walked over to them, they made room for her and up she climbed.
Adie loves horses!
Adie and Daddy on the carriage ride
Adie loved her lifesize candycane! It was really cute watching her carry it around so proudly! It was quite sad when she hit it on the ground and it popped! Adie on the kiddie train ride... she loves trains too!

There was a letter writing station for the kids to write to Santa... believe me if Adie could have written one her mommy would have been all over it! A picture by the holiday mailbox will have to do for this year!
Waiting on the fireworks show!
Happy Holidays everyone!
