I’m back.
in more than one way.
on christmas eve [morning], I woke up to a broken cell phone. perfect. sadly, my phone is my livelihood. how else am I supposed to capture every food & beverage put in front of me? thank goodness, [J] came to the rescue .. & my replacement was shipped that day!
I hope you all had the best christmas!!
we are in colorado now, extending our holiday celebration. we left chicago late on christmas day [after dinner ..& dessert], headed for des moines, IA. where we met my parents. loaded suitcases into their car. and joined them for the rest of the road trip to colorado.
we arrived yesterday. I love colorado. it’s beautiful.
let me show you a mini recap of what has taken place the past few days.
[[J]’s parent’s beautifully lit street].
before proceeding: go to {TwoCoins Gingerbread House Voting} and vote for your favorite gingerbread house. we had a family competition. ten houses were made.
this MAY or may not be mine. but regardless – you should vote for this one ;)
thanks grandma for the christmas slippers for christmas morning.
wait this is better – christmas mimosa.
don’t judge. but we called ourselves JELSEA [jeff + chelsea]. this is the gift [J] got me ..he’s the JE of the LESEA :)
he’s a clever man. & I would NOT let him wrap my cole haan coat. so he did this …
[but he also got me {kate spade neon pink studs}. love].
heart melted.
the family pup [lexi] – a great road tripper!
[J] & lexi got the front seat.
“are we there yet??”
helllllllllllllllo rocky mountains!!
tell me this isn’t the most beautiful, hand-cut colorado christmas tree?
I’m currently posted up at the island in my aunt & uncle’s kitchen. drinking beer my dad brought me from his work trip to germany. loving life. & the holidays!
see you tomorrow :)
