By popular demand, here's a closer look at the igloo.

Christmas in Colorado

When we left Vegas to drive to Colorado, there was still plenty of snow on the ground 3 days after the storm. The drive was long and uneventful. We were glad to arrive at Grandpa and Gramdma's house to find even more snow waiting for us to enjoy. When I say "enjoy," that also means plenty of shoveling and plowing. It has snowed on and off since we arrived.

And along with the beauty comes a fair share of fun and games including sledding, snowball fights, making graham cracker houses, way too much good food, movies, and never enough sleep! Kalvan even got ambitious and made an igloo in the front yard.

Of course we had our traditional Christmas Eve nativity reading as we celebrate the birth and life of our Savior. This year we had enough cousins to act it out the nativity as well. Christmas came and went with more snow and even more presents. Santa Clause was very good to us this year. How greatful we are for good kids! We hope that everyone has been blessed this Christmas and this year as we look forward to 2009. We miss and love all of our family and friends we couldn't be with and wish the best always.

What's with the white stuff?!?

As you all know we put up with 120 degree weather during the summer but the pay off is that it's very mild here in the winter. Well, not so much this year. Our highs have been in the 30's for several day and today it's SNOWING! Now snow isn't totally out of the question here, but it usually happens at night and is gone by 9am. But today it's almost 1:00 in the afternoon and a good amount of snow is falling from the sky. UN-Believable! I LOVE IT!!! Of course I'm not totally impressed with the cold, but this is really cool! Merry Christmas!
