Christmas in Montrose

Sorry it has taken me so long to update this! On Wednesday night the Chicago Pedersons came into town. It was nice to hang out with them some before we all headed to Montrose on Thursday when Justin got off of work. We were worried that the mountain passes would be bad, but they weren't too bad and we still made decent time. We didn't even stop until he hit Gunnison where we met with the Gunnison Pedersons and Nana and Bapa. We had dinner there and then us, Nana, Aunt Dana, and Zac headed to Montrose while everyone else stayed back to ski on Friday.
The boys had a blast playing with their cousins. We went on nice long walks, watched movies, played games, and just hung out. On Christmas morning the boys were so excited to see what Santa brought. However they waited patiently for everyone to make it downstairs before tearing into their stockings.  The rest of Christmas day was just hanging out, lots of lego building for  Tyler, and puzzles for Carter, and a very yummy Christmas dinner.  All the grandchildren took family pictures with Nana and Bapa one day and we went back to Ouray's hot springs, which once again the boys loved. We ended up leaving on Tuesday afternoon because of a snow storm that was headed into town. Once again all the kids did great on the ride home and we made good time missing the storm. The Chicago Pedersons stayed one more night at our house before we said by to them the next morning. It was really great seeing everyone and letting all the cousins play together, just wish it could happen more often.
