I know this post is about 3 months old, but I thought I'd still post it. We spent Christmas with Michael's family in Littleton, CO. The trip down took us twice as long as usual because of the snow and road closures, but we took a back road slowly down to Greeley and then over to Loveland. On the road over to Loveland we saw about 12 cars that had gone off the road and about the same amount of emergency vehicles getting them out, etc. It was scary but we made it safely. All of his family were there and we had a great time together. Michael and I went shopping for gifts at Barnes & Noble and I was stupid and forgot my wallet, so we walked around the store hiding our gifts from each other behind our backs and such and then had to ring up together, one at a time while the other turned there back. The cashier thought we were pretty weird, so next time I'll just bring my wallet. I got Michael the Mr. Bean shows. He was so surprised; and usually I can't keep a secret from him so I was proud I didn't give into him. After a lovely Christmas day his dad took us all ice skating in Evergreen. It was pretty cool to finally go there because this is where my mother learned to skate when she grew up. The ice rink was on a lake and I felt I had to learn all over again how to skate it had been so long. The ice was pretty nicked up too, so that made it just a little more dangerous. We played tag with his family and that was just so scary. On another day we all went to Devil's Thumb Ranch (by WinterPark) and learned how to classic ski cross country. It was all our first time so we had fun laughing at each other and ourselves when we fell. Michael took to it quickly and could go down a hill without falling. It was basically a new way to run for him. It was such beautiful scenery, especially at sunset as we headed back. Excellent place to go if you are into skiing. We had so much fun, so a big Thank You to Dad and Mom Huntington who gave us fun new experiences!
