Getting into the Holidays!

This year we drove down to Pueblo to visit with Dad, Carolyn, Sis, and Anthony.  The drive wasn't bad, at least not until we got through Denver, at which point there was a wreck some miles down the road and you could see the cars stacked up for quite a way until they went over the hill.  It was crazy!  We sat there for an hour, watched about three cop cars go by and then at last two tow trucks before traffic finally got moving again.  The only bummer was nothing to see by the time we got to the accident sight.  Not that I wanted people to be hurt and I truly hope no one was, but to sit in a huge line of cars for an hour, you kinda expect to see something.  The visit was nice though, we really didn't do anything except hang out.  Which was nice.  Good food and family, though Sis had to work the whole time we were there.  Oh, well.

The naughty trio!  Not really they had fun playing together.

We've been decorating for Christmas and generally getting into the holiday spirit since we got back.  We got out all the decorations and put up the tree.  The kids decorated cut-out cookies for the family and last Friday we went to Kaitlyn's school to decorate "gingerbread" houses with her. 

I later realized I should have put down some newspaper before they got started.  Very messy!

But the end product was worth it!

Fortunately, Kaitlyn's teacher had extra supplies so Keith could make a house too.

He was so happy!

Kaitlyn was of course the last one done out of all her classmates!

At least she was finished before the bell rang.  Silly girl!

Sadly, both kids are sick today and lazing around the house feeling crummy.  Hopefully, they get to feeling better soon, because being sick is no fun for anyone, including Mom!
