It was beautiful. It wasn't Christmas. So this year, we decided to embrace all things Christmas, and this holiday surpassed all expectations! It was a full season. Full of family, gifts, celebrating, eating, Christmas lights and friends. Oh, and the flu. Luckily, Addy and I went unscathed, but Leigh was keeping track but lost count at 19 people infected. This post will be just our time in Denver, the good stuff you are looking for will be next.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Denver had an unseasonably warm December, which made for an enjoyable Winterfest on S.

A wonderful week was found while exploring jungle trails and deserted beaches. We learned some of our old haunts had been found by the masses and lost to development (ex. Esterillos now has lifeguards and breakfast cost $15) but found new no-where's deserving of exploration and safe from all but the most devoted escape artists.

We didn't stop long enough to even take pictures. This weekend we resolved to take more pictures.

First, I should say that we should all give Dr. Alex <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Jehle</span> the biggest round of applause ever. He has really busted his tail and has spent the last... well, I don't know how long... maybe a total of 32 years... learning, studying, and becoming really smart. That does include Kindergarten I should add. Second, to add that to celebrate, Alex and Stacy honored us all (Cotter, the Trotters, the Coors, the </span><a href="http://bebeandalice.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Bakers</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> and the Hayes') with a fun week in NC. It was truly splendid. One of those perfect weeks that would drive others crazy and yet speaks to the kindred spirits that went on this trip. It involved <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">sleeping</span> in, spending an hour or so at the beach, nap times which <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">corresponded</span> to pool time for moms, eating, cooking, drinking, laughing, playing, sand, saline pool, hot tub, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">kayak</span>... etc. It involved very little beyond 100 yards of the house.

It was bitter sweet- good time with family, although sad for our family who has spent too much times at funerals in the last few years. It is unfortunate that time spent reminiscing, story telling and creating new memories comes at such a price. It was good to see family- it has been a couple of years since we have seen everyone, and much has changed in the last couple of years, needless to say.
