Highlights from Christmas Holidays 2013

The beautiful staff dinner hosted by my new boss

1) Nana sent us a package, and we got to open up a gift a day for 12 days of Christmas leading up to the 25th.  It was a great way to curb the excitement of a 3 year old and enjoy something each day.

2) We had a date night to go watch the Nuggets play in Denver.  My first real NBA game!  Jason scored free floor tickets through work, and we had a terrific time.

3) Grandma came to visit!  Unfortunately Grandma didn't make it on the 21st as planned, due to some plane issues, but she made it and we had a great week with her. 

We went to zoo lights and met Santa. 

Jason and I got to go skiing at Loveland for a day while Grandma stayed home with the girls.  Even though it was cold and windy, the snow was great and it was awesome to just ski run after run after run. 

Christmas day was really lovely.

4) Extended family (Jeannie, Glen, Lily, Eli) came for dinner on Christmas and it was great to celebrate together and hear about Jeannie and Glen's recent trip to India.

5) Family hike just after Christmas to the top of Green Mountain, and Rachel hiked a lot of it by herself.

6) One of our gifts was a stay at a condo near Breckenridge for a night, so we split had an adventure in Summit County.  I skied one day while Jason watched the girls, then Jason skied the next day while I stayed with the girls.

7) Lots of time off together, social nights with friends, and barely any work!
