Catching up: Christmastime 2012

Gosh, Christmas seems so far away now but it was very nice.  We spent a lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas morning together in our new home and then went to Paul's mom's home for the rest of the day and hung out with family.  The next morning we left early for Colorado and stayed there through the new year.  We went on a Christmas Eve hike in Midway in gently falling snow.  I'd love to make this a tradition.  Actually it was yoga, then hike, then Dairy Keen, yum.    

The next morning we had fun opening presents with Lizzie.  She loves her tunnel and taking care of the baby doll she got.  

 We got some fun presents at my parents' home like this hat for Paul.

 Lizzie loved playing in the daycare with the other kids and we bundled her up in the cutest snowsuit.

 It was nice to take family photos and spend some time with our friends Gunar and Charlie and Heinz Neumann (my dad's friend for years).

 Lizzie and I stayed over a little longer with my parents and we had some nice times going out together.
