Christmas Eve. Colorado Friends. 2010


Some of us gals! Ashley, Amy and I.

The Coon's, Folters, and Stott's got together for Christmas Eve.

We were the only one's without family in town or off visiting family for Christmas (yet..)

WE knew we had to create a fun atmosphere for the kids and have a great Christmas Eve.
Without having Gma and Gpa around, or cousins to fill the time,
we become family here.
awesome.
I was glad to host again,
(With a finished basement. it helps! t.v's, Wii, Playstation,
basketball hoop it up, a castle and toys...
We had 13 kids between us all.
We gathered at 6:00 for our Christmas EVe program:
Desserts, the Nativity, and Christmas songs.
Then let the kids play and play.....

It was great.

Ashley has the cutest little twin girls ever!

They fill my void for missing my nieces and nephews.

Brooklyn and Brinely are 11 months olds now...I love helping Ash out with them.

Here are pics of the rest of the evening....loves!

Merry Christmas!

Have so much fun in Utah! I just flew home today and I'm already homesick :) I need me some Kneader's pastries NOW! Blow the mountains a kiss from me! Happy Holidays!

You had soooooo many desserts. How do you pick just one. I'd have to have all of them. So glad you have found family away from home. Everyone needs that. It's so true that your friends become your family, when you are away. I love your Christmas Eve and I love Ash as Mary. New traditions!!! Can't wait to see ya tomorrow. My throat has a tickle. I hope it stays that way.

P.s. When did you do this post. Here in Utah.
