Christmas Colorado Style, Part 1

We spent this Christmas at my Dad's home in Colorado this year.  The irony was we left a home with snow on the front yard, packed snow boots, hats, mittens, winter coats, etc., and it was warmer there than back home!

Here are just some of the highlights of our awesome family trip!

One of our earliest adventures was a family trip to a ceramic pottery painting studio. 

 As a special gift to me (as I LOVE this sort of thing, and I mean LOOOOOVE), Ethan's Grandpa took complete charge of the little Picaso and painted pottery with him.

"Grandpa, I got this!"

"Look what Grandpa and I made!!!"

(The closest our kid gets to a sweet is a ceramic one, [insert evil mom laugh here]}

 

 Here are some of our fellow artists/beloved family members:

 

 I made a plate for Santa's cookies we'll use every Christmas.  

We'll think of this fun time with family every time we put it out!

I think our smiles say it all!  Great time, thanks Grandpa!

The perfect close to a fun day?  Watching Barney on Great-Grandpa's lap!
