Christmas Part 1

We spent Christmas in Colorado again this year. We are working on establishing some new traditions out here. On Christmas Eve, we had dinner and opened presents with the Tarlini's. On Christmas Day, we had our family (Tarlini's, Juan/Nikki, Cory) to our house for dinner (and some Big Buck Hunter thanks to Rah).

Yurt Trip #2

We took another yurt trip with Nana, Grandpa Ron and Emily. Although, while the rest of us snow shoed, Maggie decided to ride on a sled that Daddy pulled. She called him her reindeer and yelled "Ho ho ho"

Snow Day

Daddy had a snow day from work, so we snow shoed (not sure how to spell that :)) to the park to play!

Snowball Fight

We had an usual snow for Denver, where the snow was heavy and would actually pack (it's usually too dry here). After coming home from dinner, we ended up having a giant snowball fight with Ack, Rah, Aunt Emily, Nana, Grandpa Ron and some friends. Maggie was inside watching from the window (in her Princess dress), when she looked out the window and said to her Grandpa "I've gotta get out there!".

Gingerbread Houses and Cookies

Maggie had the chance to make a Gingerbread house with Daddy and decorate cookies with her friend's Seth and Cassidy.

Yurt Trip #1

We went camping in a yurt in Golden Gate State park with Nikki and Juan. We also went snow shoeing ... Maggie loved it!

Caught "Red Handed"

Maggie was drawing... I checked on her after a couple of minutes to find her wearing a new red glove. It took about 2 baths for her hand to no longer be red/pink :)

Playing in the Snow

Lion King

Maggie's favorite movie (well, one of them) is the Lion King. For her birthday, we bought her tickets to see the Lion King musical when it came to Denver. She was so excited about it! There were a few parts in the play that were a little scary for her. She loved dressing up and getting to go out for ice cream :)

City Hall Lights

We celebrated the beginning of the Christmas season by watching the lights at City Hall get turned on. This year Maggie wasn't feeling great, so we only stayed for a few minutes.

Grant Girls

Thanksgiving 2011

Another Thanksgiving, another Turducken. This year, we didn't dress Maggie up like one too :)

We enjoyed a beautiful Colorado day and ate outside with many of our great friends and family members!

Austin, Texas

Maggie and Mommy took a weekend trip to Austin to see Mommy's friend, Bee and her boys Holden and Waker. Maggie had a great time playing with the boys!
