Ho Ho Hooooooooo!!
Meeeeeeerry Christmas!!
It's only 6 days away.
Absolutely unbelievable....


We have had a fabulous month since Thanksgiving.
I don't have much time to write about it, but I'm hoping from our photos, you can see all the fun we've had.
Wishing you an amazing Christmas time with family and friends.

Kendall and I actually think we are saving the world by putting carts away that others have simply left floating in the parking lots.
So cute!

Our first holiday Starbucks cups of the season =]

Cuillier House 2012

Decorating Kendall's tree
 Ok, so some have heard of the "Light em Up" Random Acts of Kindness our family has done this year...
We have done quite a few, I may have lost count =]
We are sharing our adventure not to brag, but to inspire... 

Gave out 11 bags full of goodies to:
2 different Fire Stations (CSFD and CMFD)
1 to the CSPD
Goodwill employees who unloaded our donations
Our 3 favorite Starbucks Girls
Egg & I Staff
UPS Guy who has delivered all our goodies
Teacher Sean
Super sweet gal at my tanning salon

Homemade cookies and a bag of coffee, creamer, candy
and picture from Kendall

One afternoon we bought lunch for the guy behind us =]

*
 Left this for our garbage man!!
Along with a small bag of cookies.

*
We had two trips out to the Air Force Academy... 
each time, delivering hot coffee to the security guards at the gate!!  

Kendall and I had a lot of fun handing out candy canes as well.
Kendall and I made sure we said Merry Christmas to each and every person, and thanked them for whatever they had done for us.
Some of that list includes:
Costco door greeter, cashier, gas attendant
Target cart guy and cashier
Lifetime Fitness staff Jennifer and Justin who are always very friendly

We have a bag full of goodies to hand out at the airport tomorrow too... can't wait to spread smiles and joy to those we happen to meet along the way.

And when we weren't decorating the house, we were out having some fun!
Basketball games, Ugly Sweater Parties, Christmas Parties, and Swimming lessons, oh my!!

Kendall's letter from Santa

*
To end a great weekend of holiday festivities, we took Kendall to Denver to watch
Disney on Ice!!
We had a great time and made memories we will never forget!!



The Tower from Tangled!!


Downtown Denver was so much fun!
After Disney on Ice, we grabbed Cheesecake Factory for dinner and then walked around
to see the Christmas lights... we also had an ice rink right outside our hotel!



After a busy day, 
settled in reading the programs for Disney on Ice.

*
Yes, we are still in swimming lessons!
We love Teacher Sean and how well Kendall is doing with him.





I absolutely love my Thursday morning breakfast dates with my Girl.


Our beautiful tree and Kendall's big present =]
 *
We celebrated Christmas with Holly & Casey on the 15th, since they won't be joining us in WA.
We also give Kendall her presents from us, so that we don't have to haul them around.
It was a great morning filled with breakfast bagels from Panera Bread, fun, laughs, 
and putting a lot of stuff together.


Kendall loves her new kitchen, tea set, art easel and bike!!
Christmas #1 was a success!!


We wish you a very merry Christmas filled with fun, laughs, great memories and food.
We leave tomorrow for the
"Good ol Family Shit Show" 
otherwise known as, "Christmas in Washington"
with our beloved families and circle of friends.
And we wouldn't have it any other way ;]
And no.... I DON'T have an Excel spreadsheet for our plans this year.
Ok, I made a list. 
On Word.
So that everyone knows what we are doing.  
And when.  
And where.



 And the angel said to them,
"Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy 
that will be for all the people".
For unto you is born this day in the city of David, 
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:10-11
