Christmas Vacation

We have had a very fun Christmas break. We have spent almost two weeks in Denver. I wouldn't say it has been relaxing, but it has been a blast. Every single day was busy. I wasn't able to take pictures of everything, so some of the highlights not posted are:
*White elephant exchange with Drew's cousins and uncle and aunt in Thornton
*shopping with my sister
*going to see movies
*game night with the Oxnams and Burts
*game night with the Fosters 
*Dinner with Jeff and Angie
*milkshakes with the Lawson's

Before we left Colorado we had our own Christmas in Saint Louis. It was very fun. When Melanie saw her doll house she said, "Am I going to live in there now?" 

The girls had so much fun with all of their cousins and grandparents. Abby and Lacey were obsessed with the magnets at my parents house.

Kyla (my sister's daughter) and Melanie did not want to leave each other.

They loved exploring all the little places they could find.

Opening presents and Drew's parents house. Abby loves feeding her baby a bottle:)

Christmas at my parents house.

They were so excited to get their own strollers!

We celebrated our 7th anniversary downtown. We of course went to the cheesecake factory, exchanged our letters to each other, spent the night at a hotel off 16th street, and went to the same little crepe place for breakfast that we did last year. It was perfect.

We made the kids stop playing so we could take a family picture Christmas morning. As you can see they weren't real thrilled about the idea:)

We got to workout together. Here I am sporting my new heart rate monitor.

It's blurry, but cute.

We enjoyed going to the park.

I got to meet up with Jandi, Andrea, and Lori at the Cheesecake Factory. Then we did a little shopping of course. We are missing a few of the crew, but it was so much fun.

We also got to hang out with Jena and Logan, Jess and Bryce, and Mara. I just love breaks when we get to see each other.

We spent New Years at the Woolf house. We know how to bring in the new year.

We got to have a playdate just with Emily and her kids.

Lacey didn't make the cut.

I love this picture. Emily's son Bronson took it:)

And now I have to go pack the car so we can start the two day treck back to Saint Louis. It's been a great trip!
