White Christmas

We had a great white Christmas this year --- spent a few days in a condo in Breckenridge, CO



It snowed pretty much the entire time we were there ( except for Christmas Eve ) which was a FABULOUS day for snow riding ( ehem, 'skiing' for the old schoolers ). These pictures were taken from the condo during various times --- it was beautiful.



Weston and Mason showing off their new Santa gifts ( which conveniently showed up a day early ). They're becoming quite the shredders on these things --- our next objective is to get Tyler up on one -- so we can all ride together. Currently Tyler & Tracie sill use a pair of sticks ( skis ) but those aren't nearly as cool. :)





We came home to about 8" of new snow on our driveway --- the next day the boys were back in the snow on the sleds:

Its a beaut Clark!

Our annual Christmas tree hunt Friday after Thanksgiving. A very cold day spent up in the Pike National forest with close friends, fresh snow, leftover Turkey sandwiches, and refreshing hot chocolate.






Weston picked out a an awesome tree ( of course Bret got a new camera that he doesn't know how to use yet, so be patient )




'til next year!

Halloween

My favorite holiday and Tyler's 16th surprise birthday party. I am so thankful for only 3 teenagers in my house-- 20 of them is enough to drive one insane.

The ninja mutant turtles' long lost cousins....

The darling hostess with the mostess....


We had guitar hero blaring all night, and a disappointing show of trick-o-treaters -- next year's decorations will be even better!
