Britton's Hot Moves on the Ski Hill

Britton  & His Amazing Technique!

Merry Christmas, Ski Lessons & Museum

Merry Christmas Everyone.   These past few weeks have been crazy!  I can't believe that Christmas is over and we will be heading out to UT to visit Family in the next few days.

Yesterday Camden and Britton took there first successful ski lessons.  We have a little ski resort 5 min from our house.  Britton is in the top picture. They had so much fun.  Andrew just skied the hill all day waiting till 3 when the boys were done. Hurray for ski lessons

Camden also enjoyed the day. In January he starts ski school, where he will go 5 weeks on every friday.  They have got it together here for sure with the snow.  We are heading up to the National Park to try out our snow shoes.. should be eventful!

Merry Christmas!  This was Christmas Morning.  The girls at the office gave the boys this basketball hoop and balls. It was so thoughtful.  The boys have been playing with it this morning.  I love new pjs for Christmas.. or anytime of the year!
More Traditions... This year we continued with our gingerbread house tradition.  The boys had so much fun.  Andrew was the judge after we were done.  3 days after they sat around, Cam & Brit chose to eat theirs... yummmmm..  We also played our Christmas bingo... I kind of cheated to make it go a little faster... I would look at their cards to see what they needed to win.. oh well.

Christmas Eve we had quite the crowd at our house for the Ham dinner and Christmas Program.  We were able to have the Missionaries over and some families from our area.  Some of the girls from the office also came.  It was the perfect evening.  

On Christmas Day we headed over to Kremmling. yeah kind of a weird name.. The boys were able to sled and ride on snowmobiles.. they are learning all about 'big toys' and taking a liking to them.  

One Last Amazing Place to Visit.  On the 19th Andrew had a CE Class down in Denver, so instead of sitting in the house I went down with him and took the boys to the Children Museum.  It was so darling. This area that Britton is in was like a forest and the kids could dress up like the animals, find food and live in that particular habitat. In this picture he is an ant.  They had so much fun.  Merry Christmas and Happy New year.  Love, The Burns

I love December!!

Friday, the Day after Thanksgiving Andrew, Grandpa and the boys went tree shopping and we put up the tree.  The boys had so much fun having Grandma & Grandpa & Uncle John coming for Thanksgiving.  Andrew had lofty dreams of going out in the mountains and cutting a tree down... Maybe next year babe!  I had visions of having a chipmunk family living in the tree he picked and having a rodent problem.. 
Last night our little town had the 'Light Parade'.  It was really small, but so darling.  Santa was on one of the floats...  And the town lights the big tree in front of Andrew's office.  Ya gotta love that small town feeling.
Fishing anyone?  Okay this was taken a few weeks ago when we took the boys fishing.  The sunset was amazing.. it was freezing cold and Camden caught the only fish.  
Happy Turkey Day.. So this year I had great dreams of going out to eat for Thanksgiving Dinner, but since we had family come into town we made the Traditional Thanksgiving.  Dinner was amazing, but once again what did my children eat???  I think they all had a roll.  So next year if you are planning on spending Thanksgiving with us, you are welcome to join us at the local eatery.  (I am not kidding)

(And yes Amy & Anna, I did not make the turkey headband... it goes back to my new motto 'why make it when you can buy it)
