We are now only four days to Christmas Day!! We are all so
excited! Most people know that I love Christmas. It is one of my favorite holidays
(tied with the 4th of July) and my house, during the holiday season,
you can expect holiday music, movies and the beginning of decorations right
after Halloween. And yes, it does drive my family a little crazy!
Well this year has been no exception. In fact, it has
probably been exacerbated since we haven’t celebrated Christmas in Colorado
since 2012 and it has been a magical season so far.
So far, there have been three really great events that we
have been blessed to enjoy and one was seeing Manheim Steamroller in concert at
the Buell Theatre. I LOVE MANHEIM STEAMROLLER (not yelling, just excited!) My
family has played Manheim every Christmas day since I was really little and the
tradition has lived on to my little family.
Mike, Hannah, Mason and I got all dressed up fancy, went to an early dinner and on
our way we went to the Denver Center for Performing Arts – another really great
attribute of Colorado/Denver is their performing arts -- top notch in my
opinion.
Manheim was amazing! It brought back so many memories all
the while I was making more memories with my family. There was one
time during intermission an older gentleman said to us how great it was that we
were exposing our kids to such culture. All I could do was smile and say thank
you – he has no idea!!
Another magical experience we have had recently was adding a
new dog into our lives! Kiesel Turbo Diesel is a very sweet, big and adorable
lab – a surrender from another State. It has been wonderful adding, what was
obviously, a missing piece to our unit. It has brought up some emotions of Honey
as Honey had to be put down due to mouth cancer this last winter. Honey will
never be replaced but we definitely love having Kiesel!
The last and most important to me so far this month has been
celebrating Christmas with my immediate family -- my parents, siblings and
nieces and nephew. Again, we haven’t all been together for Christmas since 2012
and the evening was absolutely amazing and had a total blast!!
The fun isn’t over and I am sooooooo excited to celebrate
more with family and friends, as well as, host some dear friends all the way
from Indonesia. Lastly, I am so excited to see my kiddos faces when they wake up to a
snowy, Christmas day (#2 on Hannah’s Christmas list, right after asking for
world peace).
As always, to be continued and wishing our friends and family
from all over the world a very magical and blessed Christmas!!
