Christmas in Crested Butte!

Thursday after Christmas we headed to Crested Butte to join Grandad, Gramma and Aunt Emily for a few days. We took our time getting there, stopping in Cotopaxi to visit my grandparents and also a stop at the Focus on the Family visitor center to play. We went skiing, the kids played in the snow, we had a second Christmas and lots of yummy dinners all together. 

 On their way to Crested Butte Grandad and Gramma stopped and stayed one night with us in Greeley.

The kids love playing with Penny...

...I'm not sure Penny is as thrilled.

Always the snuggler!

Playing with Great-Grandma Ellen during our lunch stop on the way to Crested Butte. 

How fun to see their Great-Grandparents! 

 Gramma and Granddad rented an amazing house in Crested Butte and it was all decorated for Christmas too! They had stockings for the kids and lots of presents. 

One of their presents was a new tent and sleeping bags!

Henry got a moose sleeping bag.  

Jane's was a penguin.  

Henry thought Gramma needed to take a nap with him on the floor.

Grandad and Gramma offered to babysit while Nathan and I went skiing! It was my first time skiing since before having Jane but it was like riding a bike....except for my out of shape shaking legs at the end of every run.  :)

The second half of the day we took Jane skiing for a couple hours and she loved it. 

Riding her first ski lift!

She thought it was necessary to stop for hot chocolate.

 Henry is always our little entertainer.  :)

I love Jane's rosy red cheeks after playing in the snow.

 Playing cars with Gramma.

Playing "the grown up pool game" with Daddy.

Nathan and I got to spend an evening out together, went to a local concert at The Eldo.  :)

We had such a great time! Love you Grandad and Gramma!

Henry slept most of the way home!
