Wrapped, packaged and mailed out. Far fewer to do this year due to our travel to Dallas. Hand delivering the Starnes family and mine as well.
I know....I know.....classy diaper box. Don't be jealous if it doesn't arrive at your door!

Breckenridge
Friday night of Thanksgiving week was spent in Vail. We arrived back to the hotel in time to climb in bed with the kids and watch Polar Express. Lights out at 8:00pm and we slept like babies while snow fell outside all night long.
Waiting in the lobby for Dad while he warmed up the car. Early morning, lots of energy in these monkeys. Time to get outside and run it off!
Blake worked hard to clean up the family truckster, but we were still covered in snow!
Gear is up there somewhere.
On the road. Super stressful. On the way in, we saw a 4Runner spin out, cross lanes of traffic a few times and then slam into the guardrail. People just drove around him.
Many trucks on the side of the road putting chains on their tires. Strictly enforced in some areas.
Not far from Vail, but still so glad to see that sign!
We pealed Blake's fingers off the steering wheel and proceeded on with our day.
Punkin Laine staying busy inside while Carter and Blake take the first runs. Love that she'll wear hats with no fussing.
Snack time.
Bustin' moves at The Maggie. We typically walk the village, play outside, visit the Children's Museum and shop, but the snow was too heavy. Stayed in and kept the little ones entertained.
On the deck.
Sled time!!!!!!
Carter catching Jack at the bottom of the hill.
Loved it.
Scenes from the mountain.
Beads from Mardi Gras parties.....forever stuck in the trees.
Carter and I were out late afternoon...intended on stopping at this run because we were already half way up the mountain, but it was not available. Had to keep on going.
Lots of wind. Snow falling. Wicked cold.

First Snow
Second of the season, first for us to see due to our trip to KC. Such a departure from previous years here. During our first, we trick-or-treated in a foot of snow! Now, it's into December and we may have 3 inches for the year.
As Good As It Gets
If I tell you I'm wrapping presents this year, assume that "wrap" includes some ribbon and a gift box from the store the item came from. With a few exceptions - mainly toys in their decorative retail box - all items will be in said packaging because it's really all I can handle this year.
And, more so because that is how they will look before the gift recipient receives them due to the 2 munchkins that reside here.
Want proof? Go check out the car wash near Highway 85. Jack ripped the paper off all of the fake presents under the tree.
Never ran so fast in my life!
