Christmas Comes Early This Year...

For the first time since moving to Colorado we have decided to spend Christmas here instead of going back to Texas. It will be sad to not be there with our families for Christmas but it will be fun to get to celebrate Christmas morning at home with Maddox and Collin's parents will also be joining us here in CO to celebrate with us as well!!

Since we won't be in Texas for actually Christmas we made a 10 day trip to Texas this past week to celebrate with everyone and for Collin to run his marathon. It is a really strange feeling to be pretty much finished with Christmas gifts and all so early before Christmas. But we had a great time with our families and got some awesome gifts. We are so thankful for our families and everything they do for us!!

While we were there besides celebrating with both of our families we got to watch Collin run and finish the White Rock Marathon (he did it in 4:37...way to go babe!!), ate A LOT of good food (including Taco Bueno 4 times :D), did some shopping, got to see our sweet friends Jeremy and M'chelle and their precious 8 month old Jackson, saw a train exhibit and Santa, and went to the ICE! exhibit at the Gaylord Texan!! We had a blast!!! Obviously based on that list I have TONS of pictures to post and we all know that is what you readers really want to see :D. So here they are (click on each collage to view it larger)...
