A White Christmas for Ryan

It was snowing nice big, soft flakes on Christmas Eve's Eve. So I took Ryan out for a venture in the snow, this is the video. Enjoy! Soon to come a video of our awesome Christmas tree cut down from out own backyard, and all the presents under it that are mostly for Ryan.

Christmas in Colorado

Hello all!

The last month here in Colorado has been eventful. My Escape has been fixed so now it handles in cold weather. Ryan turned 5 months old on Dec. 15 and we decided it would be a good idea to take some pictures in the snow and by the tree. Tom and I have an offer in on a home, but since it is a short sale we have no idea when we'll hear back. We're just waiting patiently on the Lord to provide the best house for us. Evergreen is a wonderful town that will always be close to my heart, but I am looking forward to having a home in a new town. Christmas celebrations are underway! The Wassmer's will get here this week, and it will be a wonderful white Christmas in our house, one more time.

Yes, we've moved! The big move to Colorado finally happened! Tom and I had been talking about the possibility of living in Colorado for some time, but we weren't sure when we'd really move. We don't have a house yet, so for the time being we are staying with my parents in Evergreen. We've already had two homes fall through for various reasons. We're hoping to be in a home by Feb. 1, 2010! We moved from 50 degree weather to the single digits! It's freezing here. But what else can you expect in Denver in December. The Ford Escape has not liked the transition and has spent the last few days in the shop for various parts breaking in the cold. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

The first week in Colorado it snowed a few inches, so Ryan and I went outside to play for a couple of minutes. It was nearly 0 degrees outside. And by nearly I mean it was in the negatives. I took a few pics and we ran back inside. But the falling snow flakes didn't seem to bother Ryan much.

Today Ryan got to visit with Santa for the very first time. He enjoyed telling Santa what we wanted, toasting marshmallows by the fire pit, and walking around the Christmas Tree farm. Here's a couple of pics from the day.
