Today was ice skating and downhill tubing at the Gaylord. And after a delightful meal from the Old Hickory Steakhouse, it was time to decorate cookies and gingerbread houses. All the photos are here.
After some last minute wrapping and prepping for house painting on the Foster side, we headed to the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center for a few days of pure Christmas fun. All the photos are here. First day included Build a Bear, a scavenger hunt, stickers and all, with a gingerbread house kit at the end the journey. And a walk through "I Love Christmas Movies" where you find yourself in movie set after movie set that you know and love.
First meal "out" with ALL of us in a long time. Red Robin in Castle Rock. |
Build a Bear for all! |
Exactly how many in this family?! |
Last minute wrapping before we left home. |
"I Love Christmas Movies" was a blast! "Bye Buddy, hope you find your Dad." |

TimberCreek Church had service in person today! And Tracy (and Nana and Fina) had all kinds of stuff for TimberCreek Kids. AJ and the twins went Christmas shopping today; their gifts to others are now under the tree in red-and-black plaid wrapping paper. Matt whipped up a great steak and smashed potatoes dinner with which we enjoyed (really enjoyed!) a Daou Cabernet Franc that Trevor and Jen sent us. Wow! It's very nice to have Daou members in the family.
