Colorado

We decided to end December

and start the new year 

with one more celebration...
Tom and I drove

 the kids out to Denver.  We went to 

surprise Tom's brother, wife and two nephews.

At first I was really dreading the 13 hours 

with the four kids in a mini van.

It turned out great!
We broke the trip up 

a bit and stayed one night each way
in hotels.  

Continental breakfast

Post pool dinner party

The kids watched movies and 

loved being in a new car. 

With only one mishap...

We drove into downtown Denver 

and we were 7min from our 

hotel room...

the car ran out of gas!
 

Because we were there to 

surprise his brother we couldn't call

him for help.

We had to wait for a state trooper. :)

Tom's dad and Katie were already 

planning on visiting Matt.  So we 

drove in with the plan to jump out of the 

car at their house and they would think 

we were them!  

We did surprise Matt and Lindsay, but

to our surprise Tom's sister

Molly and family had already beat us 

to Denver and surprised US!

It was an unbelievable double doop.

We all had two days to enjoy each other 

and love up those kiddos!

The absolute best new year!

We got all the grand kids together

We also spent time in the mountains

at Redrocks.

Sitting on stage with Thomas!

The whole trip couldn't have gone better.
We love you guys and miss you already!
Thanks for the hospitality.

Happy New Year!!!


Until next week
