Christmas in Colorado

Finally getting around to post about Christmas! Better late than never!
We were finally able to go to Colorado to spend Christmas with Merrill's family. We haven't all been together at the same time for 3 1/2 years. The last time the whole family was together there were 2 grandkids. There are now 9, the oldest being 4 1/2. Crazy! I think most of us expected quite the craziness, but the kids all did really well, with less fussiness and fighting than expected.

One day we went to the Rec center to swim. Jarret and I had blast going down the slides.
I didn't have my camera out. Luckily Grandpa got a picture!


We also took a trip to Cabelas. Jarret loved the fish!

The day after Christmas, which was also the day we left, Darci woke up sick. She laid on the floor watching movies and puking all morning. Poor girl. Luckily after a nap she was feeling better and we were able to get our or 10pm flight home with now more puking.
 

 
 Grandma and Grandpa with all their grandkids!
 

 
We got on the plane and Darci was upset that she couldn't sit right next to Daddy. The stewardess was right behind us and saw that Darci was upset, so she gave her this cute Christmas light neckless. So nice of her, Darci was super excited and she stopped fussing.
