no white christmas

so, for the last two years, we have had friends and family flying into denver around christmas and new years only to be met with two of the biggest snowfalls (aka blizzards) ever. this year, richard and i were on our own for christmas and of course, no snow at all! in fact - it was 60 degrees here yesterday!

here are a few pics from our quiet holiday...

richard may have had a little two much fun getting the turkey ready!

but we were so proud of our first turkey on our own. with only 10 calls to our parents for advice, it came out great!

the stovalls joined us for christmas dinner and brought yummy sides for all to enjoy. it was a great meal that we were still enjoying 5 days later thanks to the leftovers!

even without any turkey, dirk was in a tryptophan coma christmas night from all the excitement
