Hello Colorado!


This Christmas season, we began the many celebrations by heading to Fort Collins, Colorado to see Brad's dad. He is now better known as Grandpa John to Brycen. He loved seeing Grandpa John, Grandma Joni, Aunt Coreen and Aunt Victoria.



Brycen did a good job on the flight. Nothing kept his attention too long so we had lots of little things for him to do on the flight.



There was still plenty of snow on the ground in Colorado. The day after we left they got 6 inches!




We visited a Dairy Farm to watch the cows being milked. This is one of Brycen's memories he still talks about. While we were there a cow pooped and Brycen was sure to say "Shooo EEE." The man cleaned it up and then he started milking the cows. When we came home Brycen was telling people. "Cow- poop-clean-milk" Looks like he has the order of events down.




We also visited Aunt Maryjo's house for lunch. She has some sheep that Brycen loved to pet and feed. He tried to chase them. As you can see, one did not like him so he ran to the side of the house.




And this was just the beginning of ALL the gifts Brycen would receive. We are overjoyed with how generous everyone has been with giving him gifts. Next year we will cut back!!



The city park was very exciting to Brycen! He loves to feed ducks. We feed them a whole loaf of bread before we saw this:

. It was obvious the ducks are fed regularly though. They knew just what to do and pretty much begged for more. Now we have to tell him the ducks are "night night" or he wants to feed ducks everyday.

We enjoyed the sunny afternoon and Brycen went to the playground with his Aunts.






Thanks for the great Trip Colorado Family!

ICE!

This weeekend we went to Dallas to ICE at the Gaylord Texan. It was ice scultpures from scenes of the Grinch who stole Christmas. All the cousins waited in line patiently to go in.

We all wore really really really large coats they gave us. Brycen looked like a penguin walking with straight legs and arms. You couldn't even see his hands.

He loved the ice slide! He scared me cause he kept turning to his stomach. But of course he just wanted "more" ice!


The last scene was one of my favorites!


Thanks to our Dallas family for a great weekend!!!!!!

Deck the Halls!



Last weekend we decorated for Christmas! Brycen said, "help daddy lights" all day!


We happened to be at the mall and there was no line at Santa. We stopped for a visit. Brycen was not scared at all!








One of Brycen's favorite Christmas things is his train!
