Christmas 2010 in Woodland Park, CO

For Christmas we went to Uncle Roy and Aunt Jeanne's house. It was the first time they had met Siena and we had a really nice visit. We were able to take the Cog Railway up Pike's Peak (14,000 feet) on Christmas Eve and we had a spectacularly clear day. It wasn't even that cold at the top (approx. 20F) and just a little windy. We took a few photos and then went inside to have some of their infamous (and greasy) donuts.

During our visit Siena fell in love with Nora and Nick and kept them busy chasing them around.

Christmas Day Uncle Roy engineered a pulley system to drop the turkey in the deep fryer. It was amusing but worked out well and tasted great. Siena had a few friends to play with and by the end of the evening was literally crying that she wanted to go home with them. It was quite a funny site.

We left the day after Christmas and were lucky enough to actually get home due to a blizzard. Our original flight on Southwest was cancelled but we scored 3 seats on JetBlue and were one of the last flights into Boston that evening. We had a REALLY nice trip but it was great to be home and see Abbey and Finley who we missed very much.

Beaver Creek, CO

For the Christmas holiday we went to Colorado to do some skiing in Beaver Creek and then headed to Woodland Park to see Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Roy.

We had a blast in Beaver Creek. There was a ton of snow and the conditions were great. We packed a lot in in 3 days. Siena went skiing for the first time, we went ice skating (back breaker for Justin, knee killer for me), poked around the village, tried to go tubing but Siena wimped out and of course we ate very well.

It was a nice and relaxing adventure.

Kiana Turns 3!

Kiana's birthday party was today. She had a great party and Siena had a nice time seeing her friend.
