For 2 days of our trip, we got to spend some time with Cameron and Abbra who live in Denver right now. On Saturday night, we went to the Denver Zoo Light show and had a blast! Hudson and I were posing as tigers!

The boys on the plane ride out to Denver- which was soooo hot! Can you tell their cheeks are flushed?

We had such a great vacation! We enjoyed so much getting to spend time with Cameron and Abbra and my family! And we had a GREAT time getting to ski! I hope this is a family tradition we can carry out for many more years! 
Thanks mom and dad for a wonderful Christmas present!
