The Aussies came to town

For the Christmas season my sister and her boyfriend came to Colorado. We had a wonderful 3 weeks together, although it went by too quickly, and we did a ton of stuff. Here are a few pictures of the highlights.
Here are the kids waiting for Mary and Trevor at the airport.
Trevor had never been in snow before. He was SO excited. It was snowing the night they landed and did several times while they were here. The first Sunday of their trip we woke up to 1-2 inches on the sidewalk and he couldn't wait to get out and shovel! (Wish he lived closer)Josh, Mary and Nathaniel with their snowman.Trevor had also never had S'mores. They don't have graham crackers in Australia. Here are Trevor and Joel roasting marshmallows in the fireplace for his first s'mores experience. He seemed to enjoy them -- I think he ate 4!Making a gingerbread house. (yes, it is a kit and it was great!)The finished product.Trevor loves Basketball, a man after Joel's heart, so here we are at the Nuggets game on family night.We went tubing one Saturday afternoon.Here are mommy and Rebekah at the top of the hill, right before we rolled and smashed our faces in the snow at the bottom! (I was the only one who wiped out after Joel reassured me that I would be fine)The kids getting ready for the ride down the semi-snowy hill.And to end this post, here is a cute picture of Samuel during a shopping outing.
