We were able to get back to Denver for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. On Thanksgiving morning, we drove up to Aurora to visit with Angie's Aunt Becky and her family (who are more like siblings than cousins). The entire family was there and we finally got to see the precious little girls that we have only seen through pictures! Even though our visit with them was short, it was great.Then we headed back out to Todd's parents in Larkspur where we were joined by the rest of his family for Thanksgiving and football. Todd's younger brother Patrick and Teresa were not able to join us, as they were at the hospital in labor (okay, Teresa was in labor!).On Thanksgiving evening, they had a little girl. We were truly blessed to be able to share that with everyone and to visit our new little niece in the nursery. It was so cool to see Hayden go in to see her. She is beautiful and we can finally buy some pink!!
The next day we did family pictures at Arrowhead golf course, which was gorgeous. We also went up to see the house that Todd's brother is building for his family. That was gorgeous as well. We can't wait to see it when completed. The views are fantastic and reminded us of the beauty of Colorado.
On Sunday, the forecast called for flurries so we expected to wake up to a little snow on the ground. But when we got up, there was already about 3 inches, and it snowed, and it snowed, and it snowed! When it finally stopped that evening, the flurries totalled 16". We just sat and watched the snow while our Jets were romped by the Broncos! It has been awhile since we have seen that kind of snow and it was "magical". This is what saw out their family room window!
That evening, we took a photo of the "boys". The next time, they will have to make room for the little lady! The three older boys had a sleepover/camp out for 2 nights downstairs and played Star Wars for 4 days! Hayden had a wonderful time with them. The youngest was content to hang out with the rest of us upstairs and be my buddy!
It was very hard to leave everyone back in Colorado, but we know that God has his plans for us and that for now we are to be in PA. We love you all!!
