We spent Christmas in Colorado this year. Brett's mom and stepdad moved there in April and we were excited to see a new area. After 2 planes and a 3 hour drive from Albuquerque, we were so excited to finally be at Nana's and Grandpa Joe's. The kids were so excited to have so much snow to play in and found the perfect hill to go sledding on. They were there quite a few times, until Brett broke one of the sleds! Brett's mom was so great and bought us all tickets to ride the Polar Express. I don't think I have ever seen two kids who were more excited. T loves trains and was in heaven to be able to ride the train. M was so afraid that she would lose her golden ticket and held on to it tightly the whole way.
We had a great Christmas day. The kids got so much stuff; we had to ship some of it home! We had a great day and got to meet some of Peggy and Joe's friends. The kids had fun playing in the snow, riding the 4-wheeler, and spending time with Nana and Grandpa Joe. Brett and I enjoyed playing games every night, watching a lot of football (Brett, not me), and seeing new places. We were there for 16 days and though it seemed like a lot, it went by very fast.
Our return trip to NJ was quite an adventure. I didn't look at our tickets right and when we got to the airport, realized our plane had just left because the time had changed! The airline worker was great and got us on a plane to Minneapolis, instead of Atlanta, that was leaving at just the right time for us. However, we ended up leaving late because the plane was too heavy. I have never had that happen before, but 6 people had to get off the plane to lighten the load. Because our plane was delayed leaving, we had to "Home Alone" it through the Minneapolis airport. We had to go from gate G11 to C5. Lets just say we made it with 5 minutes to spare. We were sure glad to be back in NJ when we got home.
