Vail and Breckinridge Colorado

Still trying to catch up to Christmas Eve and Christmas. On Thursday (day before Christmas Eve) we went and stayed up by Breckinridge in the very same hotel that we stayed at for our honeymoon. We explored, sledded and ate to name a few things.

This is us exploring Vail. Oh, how I can't wait to get this babe out so that I can enjoy the skiing!

Window shopping.
Her dog Penny is riding snugly in her purse. I felt like I was walking around Vail with Paris or something.



Sledding in Breckinridge.







The snow blizzard didn't stop us from shopping and exploring. All we needed was a little hot chocolate and cider and we were good to go.

A little outdoor ice skating.

is this EVER going to end?

Trying to catch up. This is at about 32 weeks.

Gingerbread house

I am soo far behind, but here is the decorating of the gingerbread house from several weeks ago.

Oh Christmas Tree

Last Saturday we headed to the mountains to cut down our very own Christmas tree. Let me tell ya, there was very slim pickins'. For some reason I had imagined the trees in the forest to look just like the trees that we have always bought. Haha, not so.

After a very thorough and very
very
lengthy look at the map...
Beck determined that this was to be the place our tree was awaiting its slow but certain death.
So the search began. He looked here and
he looked there.
Meanwhile, I let Bryn take photos.
She, however, would not look at the camera. So I devised an evil plot. I told her, "Look Tyler (a boy she likes) is here! This was her hopeful expression!
This is a look of hopes having been dashed.

Ah, young love.
Alas, the tree of our ah, dreams I guess. It was the very best we could find. Never mind the big fat hole in the back.
Now it was time for the mountain men to get to work.

Who knew he had any sort of muscles? I certainly did not.

Until next year...
