SNOW

So the last day, it snowed on and off all afternoon, so what do you so with kids when you can't go to a park? Hum, my idea was ice cream? Gracie and Gavin were excited, so we had ice cream and hot chocolate. What a combination.






Grandma time in Colorado

I can only go about 3 months without seeing my daughter and family in Colorado.

So the toss up was should I go before or after Christmas? What a thought process, I get so busy at Aardbark Grooming right before the holidays, so just decided to use my buddy pass, my Dad's Enterprise car rental discount, and a cheap hotel and away I went. It was a hectic 3 days, but I loved every second. We took the kids to North Pole, a visit with Santa, got haircuts, christmas shopping, wrapping presents, fleece blankets made, got Garen's 2 year pictures taken, and yummy pizza. On top of all of that, it was 25 degrees, and 2 inches of snow. Not fun for this Arizona desert rat.... So now I can concentrate on the rest of the holiday season.













This is a frozen pole, hench North Pole, that is frozen year round. Such a fun amusment park.
What would a visit to the North Pole be with out Santa?


I cannot believe Garen is going to be 2 years old.
He was so fun, and finally glad to see his Granma!
He gave me kisses, and hugs, aww I loved it!

Colorado Pictures

I had such a awesome visit with the Grandkids! I have missed seeing them so much! It was a fun 3 days. We went to church, went to the Cheyene Mountain Zoo, I had their pictures taken at JC Penney, went to McDonalds, ate at Red Lobster, and played in the park. They kept me busy for sure!



Gracie is such a good big sister, Gavin is getting so tall.


Garen is such a happy boy, I cannot believe he is walking allover!



Here we are getting ready for our zoo adventure!



Gracie and I love the giraffe's! It was neat to pet them and give them crackers!


They have a avairy, and the cockatiels and parakeets can land on you, this one liked Gracie!

Gavin liked the wallabys!

Aww, the elephants were playing thy were so loud...must have been the cool day!
