Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.
We enjoyed a visit with Santa, Durango style, this past weekend. We drove up near Durango Mountain Resort to Rapp Corral where we enjoyed a horse drawn sleigh ride through the fresh snow. During the sleigh ride we sang Christmas carols. When we returned from our ride back at the stables, we were met by Santa making a surprise visit who arrived via horse drawn sleigh. Santa hugged each kiddo and then presented them with a present that was direct from their list! (preplanned of course between the corral and the parents). We enjoyed hot cocoa and sugar cookies while the kids unwrapped their gifts and played in the snow. Afterwards, we drove back down to Durango to have dinner with our friends but dinner was cut short due to Emma having a mild volcanic eruption all over her and her car seat. Good times! But we all seem to be doing well, knock on wood, as we coast into the Christmas weekend. We are going to enjoy the holidays at home just us and then hope to venture off to Chama, New Mexico to visit friends and do come cross country skiing. It will be nice to break out the skis again.
Emma looking mildly amused by the outdoor sleigh ride fun. It was snowing and a bit chilly so she was trying to hang in there the best she could before getting sick later at the restaurant.
Sarah over the top thrilled with her new Belle Princess Barbie doll from Santa.
During the sleigh ride. This isn't the best picture of the kids since Emma looks pissed and Sarah looks out of it. :-)
