A Rocky Mountain Weekend

Some of the Finlays came out to Colorado this past weekend to spend some time in the Rocky Mountains.  We went downtown for a dinner of Crepes, to ice skate, and to watch the parade of lights.
On Saturday, we drove up to Georgetown and walked around the Christmas market there.  We also rode the Georgetown train which Gavin, our nephew couldn't get enough of!  Here we are with Santa in front of the train.
Isn't the scenery spectacular!
We went to Ian's work party a few days ago at Invesco Field and took these pictures.  Ian in the media room.
 On the field.  What a cool experience to look up at all the stands.  We learned that the chair that makes the eye in the bronco in back of us is the only chair brought over from the old stadium and is a very coveted seat in the stadium.

Thanksgiving In Los Angeles

This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Finlays in California.  The whole family started the day off with our own Turkey Trot down the bike path.  Here is the whole crew after the race.
Alana and Ian with the turkeys. 
We started off black Friday by shopping all the great deals at the dollar store!  Actually, we had gift cards from our wedding to the dollar store in CA that we still needed to cash in, so we stocked up on A LOT of travel sized toothpaste for Ian.  Why not?  The rest of the day we spent hiking the Hollywood Hills and looking at stars at the observatory.

I am sorry I didn't take more pictures of the weekend but we had a great time in sunny California!
