Christmas in Colorado 2014-Christmas Eve and Day

Christmas Eve we went to the children's service at Steve's parents' church. I love this service--you sing Christmas carols that tell the story of Jesus' birth and the kids get to dress up and get called up on stage when their presence is needed in the story.

Buddy was a wise man and Lulu was an angel. How appropriate.

 They got to go up on stage afterwards and pet the "animals" and see the live baby who played baby Jesus.

We spent Christmas Eve night at Steve's friend's place in Blue River. The kids woke up to stockings filled by Santa.

We spent all of Christmas Day skiing at Breckenridge.

 Break time!

We headed over to the Stiehl cabin in Fairplay before heading back to Colorado Springs. We ate Christmas dinner there with the Woody's.

Christmas in Colorado 2014-AFA and Broadmoor

Steve's nephew Paul got us tickets to see the Air Force Academy basketball game. The kids got to do a fun competition during one of the time out breaks.

Another highlight was high five-ing the players as they came off the court.

 We looked at the giant gingerbread house at the Broadmoor Hotel.

A walk around the lake outside the Broadmoor.

Time for a visit with Mrs. Claus and Santa.

 Lunch at the Golden Bee. Fun and yummy!
