The Holidays Are Here!

The holidays are here!! It's my favorite time of year and started out with my parents visiting for a week for Thanksgiving.  Gwen had a wonderful time with her grandparents and was as cute as can be.  She really is a doll and I am so lucky!!

It was a busy week.  We watched football, shopped, ate great meals, took Gwen to Monkey Bizness and the Denver Aquarium, shopped, and just enjoyed each other's company.  Mike made a fantastic meal for Thanksgiving and Steve, Lily, Nico, and Gloria joined us and brought over some yummy food as well.  We were all fat and happy by the end of the day.  Mom and I then worked off the meal by shopping for 6 hours on Black Friday.   We may have been the only 2 people who barely shopped the sales, paid full price for most stuff, and really only shopped for ourselves.  Needless to say I still have a lot of Xmas shopping to do.  It was a wonderful time though and it made me realize how much I miss shopping with her. 

Today I drove my parents to the airport and as usual it was sad.  I do miss being away from them.  This is my 10th year here in Denver and it really doesn't get any easier.  We all relaxed today and none of us got out of our pajamas.  To get Gwen ready for bed we just changed her into new pajamas...haha.  I guess we did something, we put up our tree and will decorate it tomorrow. 

Enjoy some pics from this week!
