Christmas in Colorado

For Christmas we went to Colorado to my mom and dads.  Janae's and Mark's family made it down too so we were all together.  We had a ton of fun!!!  Here are all the pic's from that week and I'll make comments on some of them.







Our family tradition of opening up jammies on Christmas Eve!!!






 My dad found some old video footage of him and his family when he was just a little guy and he dubbed it onto a DVD.   Here is a pic of my grandpa watching it and in awe!!!






 Cousins had so much fun playing together.  I love the pic below because we laughed so hard the entire time.  Oh what a great time we had!!!



 xbox 360 on the patio was a huge hit!!!!  In fact I hardly saw Derick the whole week.





 Big Ole' slumber party!!!


 The day after christmas we went to our church and played some basketball.  It started out 5 on 5 full court but that lasted about 2 minutes before everyone was getting side cramps and about to pass out.  We then played a mean game at half court, and lightning!!!!


 Olivia and McKenna were both on medicine for ear infections so we would have a night "Cheers" for them taking their medicine.


 We all went up to my Grandma and Grandpa Claunch's house to hear some music.  They have been playing music their entire lives and alot for dances around the valley.  My kids with living so far away had never heard them play and so they enjoyed hearing and singing some songs with them.



 Where I grew up is full of deer right now.  It was crazy to drive around and see deer practically everywhere, walking on sidewalks, on the baseball fields, around the college dorms, I mean everywhere.  I have never seen anything like it.  The pic below was taken when we were driving around looking at Christmas lights and I saw this buck and thought it was a lawn decoration.  I turned around and shined my lights on it and it turned it's head.   WHAT!!!  Yeah I was 15 feet away and it just sat there staring at me.   So fun for all of us!
