This year we were blessed to experience a snowy Thanksgiving in Denver with our some of our Mons cousins. One perk (and probably the only one) with Tyler's constant travel is that we had enough flyer miles to take the whole family without breaking the bank.
We stayed the first night in Downtown Denver in a posh hotel. But no matter how nice of a hotel you get, it is always a bit chaotic when you show up with 4 kids. Lots of energy for 1 room!
The next day we made the drive to Breckenridge where we would spend the first half of the week. Jessica and their kids drove up and stayed the last night with us. We enjoyed the indoor poos, sledding, skiing and played our hearts out in the snow. Breckenridge won the hearts of all the kids, especially Logan. He was smitten by the mountainous landscapes and beauty of the town.
Tyler took Logan and Mariah skiing for their first time. He couldn't believe how quickly they caught on and before the day was over they were zipping down the slopes. It helped that they had Tanner and Carter- who are little pros- to keep up with.
Our last night there Aunt Jess treated us to ice cream and other goodies at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Delish!
We spent the rest of the week in Broomfield where they live and enjoyed relaxing, playing at the rec center, birthday pedis with Jess and shopping. I don't have a picture, but Jess and I took Tanner and Mariah out for their first crazy holiday shopping experience. We stood in line at Target in the cold for an hour and had fun talking to people around us and finding out what everyone was there for.
We were happy to be there for Aunt Jess's pie making tradition. I was even happier to eat them!
