We drove to Colorado for Christmas! Our first stop was back to Kirksville to spend some time with Erick and Lauren. Brad was also able to be there too. We spent Saturday with them. The girls went to see 'P.S. I Love You' and the boys took a nap and watched football. That night we had Mexican together and then hung out. Thanks for opening your home to us and being such great friends! Then it was off to Colorado. Matt caught Jess and Henry sleeping during the drive. Henry did really well during the trip. He never had an accident in the car and slept most of the time.
Christmas Eve we had dinner and opened presents with Matt's dad and Grandma. Everyone was craving KFC, so that's what we had. It was great! The Bronco game was on so we opened gifts while watching the game. Henry opened his Bronco jersey so we had to take a photo. Christmas day we had a fantastic dinner with Matt's oldest brother Mike and his family. Sue made the best prime rib we have had in a long time. Thanks for having us over! It was great to see you guys again.
This trip also allowed us to spend an entire day with our good friends and Andy, Kristen, and their new boy Ayden! Andy and Matt shoveled snow at their church for a few hours and then we all met up at Cherry Creek Mall. What a blessing it was to catch up with such great friends.
Henry had a great play buddy while at Bill's house - Cheyenne. Surprisingly they got along better than everyone expected. Henry mostly got buried in the snow by Cheyenne, but when she was not looking Henry got her tail.
Our time ended on a great note with a Bronco game. Bill treated us with his Bronco season tickets to the final game vs. the Minnesota Vikings. What a game it was. The Broncos were up 19-3 with 8 minutes left. Well, the Broncos let them tie the game and go into overtime. We lost the coin toss but on the second play we sacked Jackson, caused a fumball, and recovered the ball. The Elam kicked a field goal to win the game. It was one of the best games we have been to. What a great way to close out 2007 and start 2008!
