a quiet christmas morning...

in the colorado snow...

 

phelan's first christmas!!!  it's amazing how much fun the holidays are with a little one!  somehow the tasks that can seem stressful are fun and enjoyable!  phelan was a FUN age for christmas.  she had just started crawling -- therefore getting into the presents, the boxes, and the christmas tree... when she would crawl over to me with glitter on her face, i knew she had found an ornament to play with. she also liked helping us wrap.

 

our first celebration was actually the week before christmas in colorado.  it was SO nice to be in the snow!  it really felt like christmas!  over a few days at the condo we got to spend time with koko, gigi, pops, ang (and baby joey in her belly), gabi, roy, amy, mike and jen.  parker, pops, roy, and amy skiied at winter park one day.

after our condo stay we attended the annual young christmas party.  this year the party was at kathy and phil's cabin in winter park.  quite a few people had to miss the party, but it was beautiful anyway.  we had an extra special visit by santa, and phelan didn't even cry!

it was a fabulous, wintery christmas in colorado!
