Denver decorates for Christmas

The State Capitol

City and County Building




The Denver city and county building is straight across from the State Capitol, so we went down to check them out one (very cold) night. They go all out for Christmas and even play Christmas Carols on the bells.

White Christmas




Had a big surprise Christmas morning when I left work. There was snow blowing in my face when I walked out the door and EVERYTHING was white. I had to come straight home and wake William up. I slept all day, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he sat in the chair all day and looked out at the snow!

More snow pictures.

Proof that Grandmother actually did sled.
Christmas in Breckinridge and the lighting of the tree.

The way you're actually supposed to sled.

Snow, snow and more snow

Joe trying to clean FEET of snow off the car!

Mom & Grandmother in their sledding attire.
Will & I trying to come down the hill together.
Not the correct way to sled.

William stayed in Frisco with Joe and Sandra for four full weeks this year. I ran out there everytime I got a day or two off. My parents and Grandmother also visited the first week of December. We had lots of fun skiing and sledding. It's been a tough jump back to reality this past week and a half. I had to work 4 days straight at Christmas, but we get a few days off this week to go skiing and I have New Years off too!

I know it's been a while since I updated, but we haven't really done much here in Denver to take pictures of. We took a tour of the Denver Mint, but cameras were prohibited, so no photo souvenirs! We have been spending the last 2 weeks out in Dillon, CO with Joe & Sandra. Joe, Jackie, and Mae are here this week too. We've had lots of snow in the mountains and we're starting to get some here in town too. Hopefully I'll have more pictures in the next week or two. Hope you are all well!
