Okay I may have taken a break from blogging, and am extremely late with this post, but the enthusiasm remains the same!! We loved spending Christmas in Colorado and having so much time with family.
For our own Thompson family Christmas we spent the day at the beach in Santa Cruz. Callen loved feeling his hands and feet in the sand and would squeal every time he dug deeper.

This was Callen's first Christmas and Josh and I couldn't have been more excited to share our love bug. Christmas Eve was spent with the Weslings. As my nieces get older, they get more and more into the holiday spirit and into presents!! We started our day celebrating Julie's birthday, made Gingerbread men, and then continued opening stocking stuffers. Next was the main event - the presents under the Christmas tree!!! It was so fun to watch the girls tear into their gifts and then want to play with everything. Having all the kids around, really brings magical spirit back into Christmas!
Warning: there were lots of photo shoots since Josh got me a new lens for Christmas. I am hoping by next year I will have this photography thing down!

The next day was spent the day with the Thompsons. We started the morning at Josh's mom's for a delicious breakfast, continued on to the Springs to Josh's aunts for an amazing lunch, and came back down to Castle Rock to see Josh's dad's side of the family and had dinner. We were so happy to get to see everyone and very glad we got to see Josh's Uncle Tom one last time. He was an incredible man who will be sorely missed.

We also made it to the WOW museum. It is so fun to watch Callen start to inquire about his world and play with toys.
Lastly, I couldn't conclude without including a picture of Tucker, our adopted dog during Christmas. Our friends Jason and Julie allowed us to stay at their house while they were away. Not only did we get a great house to stay in, but we had an amazing furry companion to keep us company.
