New Year's Eve/ New Year's Day

We left Estes on the morning of December 27th to take Matt to the airport. Back to work for him, but the rest of us enjoyed the week in Denver visiting with family and friends. Here is a pic of the night before we left Estes Park.



We picked Matt back up from the airport on Friday night and then spent New Year's Eve and New Year's day with Matt's parents again in Estes.

Here are some fun pics.






We always enjoy the festivities, fun and food at the Smith's Home! My inlaws are wonderful!

New Year's Day we went to church and then in the evening we were able to visit Matt's grandparents in Ft. Collins. His grandparents are sweet and worthy of emulation in every way. I was especially glad that our kids got to spend a little time getting to know their great-grandparents a little better.

The table was so elegant!


The children enjoyed stories from Great Grandpa, performing little skits and songs for their great grandparents, curling up in their laps, and looking at all of the neat decorations.






I am grateful that we were able to spend time with loved ones this holiday season. Our families are our treasure!

As a final note: Matt and I celebrated our 11th anniversary January 2nd. Thanks to Matt's parents for watching the kids for a day. We enjoyed our time together in Denver. January 3rd we drove back to Omaha to begin a new year.
