Christmas

Like everyone else I feel like I still wanted to post about the Christmas break even though that was so last year. We had a wonderful time in Colorado and were grateful to see both our families. I have to thank mother nature for the wonderful weather we enjoyed, I didn't even put my coat on until I returned to Wisconsin. For the most part we just enjoyed being with family by playing a lot of games (thanks for making some up for us Bro-dog). It was a good break for Brad, I think I only caught him studying one or two times (now it is nose to the grindstone as we countdown to boards). We did also get a chance to go the the Aquarium in Denver (by my parents promise since we took them to the Sears Tower). If you know Brad you know how long we spent in there. His favorite part was hand feeding the stingrays, and my favorite part was still the flash flood that comes at you and is stopped by a glass wall (I watched it twice). Our goal was to get our Christmas cards out at least by new years (since Christmas was out of the question), but we even failed at that, so if you were thinking we forgot you sorry, we really just forgot everyone. Thanks to those that sent us cars they are on our fridge (I can say that because I know you read our blog). We are thinking maybe valentine cards or easter...

Here are a couple pics that we got of the random activities that we did.

My fam after $1 bowling, Brock killed us again.

Here we are showing off our iron on creations that we made together.

Now we didn't take any pictures of Christmas in Colorado but we did take pics of our own little christmas we had together.

We do have a bigger tree I just ran out of time to put it up so we pulled out our very first tree we had together (not all those presents are for us half of the got packed)


Brad got me these picture frames he saw me dreaming about at the store
I got Brad a nose hair trimmer! (okay I also really got him an aquarium fish book)
