Cannons, Christmas, New Years Eve, and more!

This is a very long post, condensed into one!
-
December 20-23 the Cannons came:
Daivd, Lea Ann, Blake, and Alec!
-
When they got here, we ate at BeauJos Pizza (so good)
then came home and opened presents!!!!

alec

that night we went to Chipotle for a late night snack.
This chipotle (2 blocks from our house) is the very first Chipotle ever!
The "Evans" chipotle.
The manager gave us a tour and free t-shirts!


alec got cameron this remote controlled helicoptor,
and he hasn't stopped playing with it yet :)
good job alec!

-
The next day we went to church, Mona's for lunch, the REI flagship, and a movie.
-
the next day alec, blake, and david went to Loveland to ski, and Lea Ann, Cam, and I met up with them and picked alec up, went to eat, and walk around georgetown, see snow, and drive up Kenosha Pass... it was beautiful.
-
we kept seeing these frozen waterfalls, and Lea Ann, bless her heart, wanted to get out of the car and see them, but this is what happened:
she was okay, and laughing :)
but her lovely d-in-law had to snap this pic...




once the boys got her up there!





we had gone to this hoomemade candy store in georgetown, and got horeberry (sp?) candy, ppl used to use it as medicine, but for some reason we wanted to try it. i thought it taksted like poo.
but the man that was helping me at the store was so cute, funny, and old. they also made their own ice cream. So i said to him "i have to know one thing, do you make all this ice cream yourself?" and he said he did, besides the sugar free one. i cant describe how funny he was but he just was. and he even made fun of me for eating and liking braums ice cream :)

alec's frozen non-gloved hands.
these people from TX, what are they thinking?

-
after they left, we went to a movie, then opened our presents :)
-
the 24th we hung out at home,
then went to church, all dressed up!
it was where we used to meet when we were smaller
in an art gallery downtown!

laughing at something?

then cameron and kimel went snowshoeing/
adventure whatevers...
they built a fire from what was going to be flint
but turned out to be matches.
that took so long they didn't have time to
built their snow cave and catch a rabbit or something?

Guess what I got in the mail a couple of days ago?!?!? The Rachel Ray magazine! I love it!! Thank you so much!! This might be the only form of a thank you that you get since we now have the house on the market and I am too busy keeping this place clean to write thank you notes! I hope you understand. Your pictures are great and I'm glad you had a nice Xmas.
