Ho Ho Holidays!

Every year, the holidays come and go...but this year was especially festive...

A new tradition in our household, we made lefse, and it was a full team effort!

You know what they say, just a little lefse, it'll go a long way...

This year, I had a couple friends in town for Thanksgiving--Jason and Niiki from Gone with the Wynns!  It was a fun reunion after our Best of the Road adventure. They came with a fully stocked kitchen inside their RV and made us some yummy homemade cinnamon swirl pancakes.  Mmm.

My dad took us on a hike at Roxborough, and we went on a little photo frenzy.

As usual, I made the yiftis.  And then I got to lick the bowl.  Fair trade.

After a big Thanksgiving dinner, we sat down for a game of Ticket to Ride, my new obsession.  My brother and dad were very serious with their strategy, and Jason and Nikki were great competitors.  It was like we warped back to the Best of the Road days!  Once again, they won.  Can you believe it!  :P

 

We had a FaceTime chat with my grandma in Minnesota and al our relatives...isn't technology neato! Just one of the many reasons to love your iPad.

Later that weekend, we took part in one of the silliest celebrations of the year--the Boulder SANTA CON!  My friend Duzer invited us up to Boulder for some shenanigans on Pearl Street--it was quite a sight!  Santas, santas everywhere! 

 I was the "present".  :P

Too fun!

Embracing the true holiday spirit, it was fun to spend time around home around the holidays.  I helped decorate the tree with ornaments we've acquired in a lifetime and I also helped make Christmas cookies!  Mmm.  I was lucky to spend the holidays with my family before heading up to the mountains for some winter fun.
