Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We had such a wonderful Christmas visit back East to see our families. Although there were some hiccups with weather and illness we had so much fun together.

Busy time!

Colorado Christmas

Here are a few pictures from the week before we headed back to NY for Christmas. We had a Colorado Christmas celebration with all the presents Santa left at our house here since he knew we would have too many to travel back with from NY.
Working on a picture of a zoo with out any animals.


Such a pretty girl in a new birthday outfit.

All adorned with rings, bracelets and necklaces.

The Brinkmans came over to help make the project with the baking soda clay that we did not get a chance to do at Marin's party.

Enjoying our new kitchen

Look at all of those presents!

A little mock cake before we see what Santa brought.
