christmas 2012

"over the river (and mountains) and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go"... rung true for our christmas celebrations.  we headed over to my parent's house, on the western slope of colorado, to spend christmas and a few days after.  channing had the VERY best time with "nanna" and "poppie".  we enjoyed a white christmas, sledding for the first time, playing dress up with nanna and of course - opening gifts on christmas morning.
