.. . And off we went into the snow

In celebration of Mike Barbee's birthday, we headed into the beautiful Arapho National forest by snowshoe. We think Jed really enjoyed the views, as he was near speechless the entire hike. I suppose he could have been frozen for all we knew, but we choose to think he had fun.

Snowshoeing on Berthoud Pass

Fun times trying to get little hands into little mittens. The little fella could hardly move by the time we were finished with him. But, he can't say he was ever cold!

Tummy Time in the kitchen

"Uh oh... I hear Bueni coming..."
"Mom! Bueni's right above me! Tell her to sit!"
"Oh man, a wet one, right across my face. I knew it was coming."

Movie: Up, down, Up, down

Jed is learning that it takes a lot of energy to play host and entertain his Dodge grandparents.

Movie: "Thanksgiving Day" walk

While Grandbob and Nana were stuck in traffic on I-25 towards Littleton, we decided to burn some calories pre-dinner so that we could justify our second-helpings to come. Jed meanwhile focused on staying warm.

Thanks DeKruifs for sharing your warm Alaskan sweater with me! Very colorful too!

Winter-walk after Thanksgiving

Always happy to go on a walk with Mom and Dad and Bueni...


If you look closely, you'll see a member of the neighborhood coyote pack. (look to the right of center, near the bushes)

Bueni was feeling festive and wore her "Christmas collar", jingle bells and all.
