The Celebration Continues...

Spending the last day of 2011 in CO Springs today with my family. Mom, dad, Ronnie, Ethan, Patrick, and Reo headed partway up Pike's Peak today on the cog railroad. They didn't get to go to the top because of 75-100 mile per hour winds, but they went about 12,000 ft up and had a great time. Nick, Cayle, Michelle, Lexi, and I stayed around the house and hung out. Cayle did succumb to a haircut today (second try's a charm) - although begrudgingly - and he looks so old now!

We spent the afternoon watching college football and basketball. Dad made homemade pizzas tonight for dinner and we exchanged Christmas gifts. Things were going well, until both Nick and Cayle got sick. Nick spent most of the evening in bed with a stomach ache. Cayle threw up on me five times. I'm glad I was able to take care of both of my boys :)

For the rest of tonight, we plan to all hang out, play games, eat snacks, and head outside to the front porch to watch the fireworks off Pike's Peak at midnight.

It's been an unbelievably fun break from school. We have had lots of time to spend with our families and spoil Cayle with non-stop attention. We have so much to be thankful for, and so much to look forward to in the new year!
