Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday

The Christmas season has come and gone and this was a fun one for us. As always we started out our traditions with Jack Stack on Christmas Eve and it was (as always) delicious! Then Reid and I exchanged our Christmas PJs and Carson was sound asleep in his reindeer jammies.

Christmas morning, surprisingly, Reid and I woke up before Carson. I got the bubble bread going and turned on some Michael Buble before going to get little man. We had a great time opening presents and it's so fun to see Carson experiencing new things. Santa was good to little man this year and he, of course, had the most presents under the tree!

After the Christmas festivities were over, Reid headed to the airport to pick up our friend Donnelly. Then later that evening it was time to celebrate Reid's 28th birthday! We had our traditional pizza and holiday beer and then birthday cake. As always I stressed over making him a cake, but I got cute idea at the final minute and it turned out ok. A white cake because he didn't get a white Christmas.

We all hit the sack early and woke up refreshed and ready to go for a hike! We went up to Chief Mountain (11,709ft) outside Evergreen, CO. The weather could not have been any better and Carson even gave us some smiles at the summit. And this also happened to be the first "summit" Carson has ever made. After our outdoor adventure we took Don to Champa for some yummy burgers!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Hard to believe we are about to ring in 2014!
