Christmas in Denver!

We just got back from a whirl-wind Christmas celebration in Denver. With Marshall living in Denver doing his surgery residency, we decided to get the Goods and the Bells together this year and celebrate in Colorado. Mat and I are really blessed to have parents that are friends and enjoy hanging out - so we all love getting together for holidays.

Marshall (aka Jan Bell) hosted Christmas Eve with crab claws flown in from Florida (thank you Jim & Jan!), tons of yummy apps and my mom's world famous soapapilla cheesecake.

Christmas morning was beautifully lazy with an incredible brunch, presents, mimosas, egg nog and and all out fun time of sitting around together and catching up.

Marshall finished rounding just the nick of time and showed up in his traditional scrubs, Rockies hat and cowboy boots.

It was a beautiful day of family togetherness. #10 even got to participate as he/she got some fun gifts. (It seems that every outfit that baby has is sports related. Hope they are as big a sports fan as their dad!!)

My dad and I made our traditional Christmas chocolate fudge pie.

We ate lots of yummy food, took naps and enjoyed each others' company. It was a wonderful holiday together!

We hope you and your family enjoyed a wonderful time together as well!

Happy New Year!!
