One of the best things about Colorado is the spring snow storms. We usually get at least one big one, sometimes two. The reason they're so great is because it will usually snow about 6+ inches then the next day be sunny and warm. Those six inches will be completely melted within a couple days but in the mean time, we get to enjoy wonderfully sticky snow and sunny warm temps.

This snow storm was no exception. We walked a half mile or so to City Park and rolled around in the lovely wet white stuff, had snowball fights and built a snow creature - we called it an alien. Note how the alien apparently had a thing for grabbing my ass and also taught Shayel the proper way to greet an alien - by licking it. Also note the Rocky Mountains in the distance and the broken tree branch (the snow was so wet and heavy it broke big tree branches all over town). Yeah, it's pretty rockin' here.

 

 

The tree decorated, more sugar cookies, hi from mom and ice skating

 

 

shopping for the Christmas tree, baking and decorating sugar cookies, the mantel and Hanukkah

Last night our good friend Dan came over with cloves and beer and lots of laughs (as is his way). David and I had a lovely evening together (we didn't get to sleep till after 2). Then our day today started with fresh baked banana chocolate chip muffins, the making of paper lanterns and chains and snowflakes while listening to big band Christmas music and watching the girls dance around to the Nutcracker songs played big band style. Then off to the gym for a quick workout while the girls played. Now to get clean, have lunch and get our Christmas tree which we will decorate with our usual flourish. Tonight I get to see Aaron Strumpel and Todd Fadel and throw back a couple. *happy sigh.

David had his most recent set of headshots critiqued by some actors and casting directors and was told that he needed new ones that matched his slate - i.e. a bit more light

So a good friend of his shot these (unedited edited by me). And of course, I have to show off my handsome guy.
