Colorado

I just returned from a visit in Colorado with Jennifer and her family.  The occasion was Emma's birthday.  We also celebrated Christmas while I was there ~ fun times and happy memories.

Jennifer teaches a pre school

class at church and gifted them

with Play doh ~ which we wrapped

(they are ROUND)

We "built" gingerbread houses 

Sarah loves the camera 

Last year I took a house for each girl

This year I took one for Arie, also.

Precision is the key  

Claire and I were proud of our artwork?

Arie's 

My "chalet"

Claire just couldn't decide WHEN to stop 

Our Jennifer listening to one of the girls 

Sarah with their Christmas tree

(ornaments have been known to

rearrange from day to day) 

Arie said "if you insist on snapping

my photo at least make it look

natural" 

Emma got a rocking ladybug 

I think she LIKES it!! 

Attended a Daisy Troop meeting with Claire 

Emma's birthday dinner choice 

Jennifer sat one at each of our places

YUM!?! 

Emma enjoyed her birthday cupcake

After Arie smashed her hand into it

she just licked it off and kept eating

(Claire cried when he did this to her

on her first birthday) 

Watched Sarah at rock climbing class

 

It was a wonderful trip and there are more photos.  I had the chance to worship with the Windsor Church of Christ, went to soup supper, laughed at (and with) the girls, played Scrabble with Jennifer (I won 2 out of 3)

 

Thankfully I left in time to be AHEAD of the flash floods and snow/ice that some of the states I travel through experienced last week.  Yes, I drive!  It is very calming for me.  People are encouraging me to fly next time....we'll see
