December 2012

December was a very busy month for us.  Reed got his first haircut, Spencer and I celebrated 11 years of marriage, and it was Christmas.  I'm always so relieved when Christmas is over.  Reed did super good getting his hair cut.  He was the best looking guy in the place....next to his dad of course.

 

For our 11 year anniversary Spencer surprised me with reservations at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.  The Broadmoor is a very upscale hotel and resort that is known around the world.  I always thought it would be neat to go there someday, and Spencer surprised me with a stay overnight this year.  Probably won't be going back unless we win the lottery, but it was really neat for a night.  It was pretty funny though because everywhere we went...and I do mean everywhere even the shops, the workers would congratulate us on our anniversary.  After a while it started to get a little freaky, but it was fun.  The room was SUPER nice.  The bathroom was as big as the bedroom was and all the Christmas decorations were absolutely breathtaking.  Dinner was absolutely divine and unforgettable

A couple days later was Christmas.  The kids really had a great Christmas.  Reed loved ALL his presents.  He wanted to play with them as soon as he opened them.  It was super cute.  Especially when he opened his bow ties.  He immediately wanted them all on, we could only fit two.  CJ and Avary got everything they wanted and Spencer got a new years supply of popcorn from Santa.  Although, I think it might not make it quite a year this year.

 All and all it was a really good December.  A few things that we could have done without, but the magic of spending the time with your family is always a treasure.
