Christmas 09

Christmas started out with a bit of a shock this year, but ended up being a very memorable time. A few days before Christmas, Marks parents, brother and nephew were loaded in a car to drive to Denver. But only a few blocks from town a girl who was texting while driving ran a red light and wrapped their car around a light pole. God kept them safe using air bags, but the family gathering in Colorado was not an option. We had already purchased airline tickets, so we flew to Denver for a few fun days with Leafgreens. Reagan saw his first snow and went sledding for the first time. We hit the slopes at Breckenridge. It the coldest day of skiing we have ever had.........4 degrees when we arrived and only 6 when we left. We sang Christmas Carols on Christmas Eve and Toby roasted the most delicious turkey we have ever eaten. We then piled 3 adults and 4 cousins in a suburban and drove to Lincoln to see the rest of the family who were recovering from their car wreck. It ended up being a sweet time together and as a bonus, we got to spend a few evenings in Lincoln with my parents.
