Lots of Updates

Recently we have had lots of activities so updating the blog kind of came last on the list. So now we are playing catch-up. Below is a list of events that have been happening. Underneath are pics!

1.) For Thanksgiving last month, Mary, Justin, Tim, Krista, and Jen all went up to Conifer to celebrate and eat with Jen's Aunt and Uncle. As usual, we has a blast eating, playing board games then passing out on the couches.

2.) Right after Thanksgiving we got our first Dairy Delivery! On our street we always noticed these white boxes on everyone's porch. So we investigated, and Denver still has a dairy delivery service. Through some investigating, we found out that all of the products are local, and produced from hormone-free cows. Mary also likes to think that they are living in little cow homes too. So now every other Friday we now receive a 1/2 gallon of milk, cage free veg. fed eggs, chocolate milk, and a block of cheese delivered right to our door. Plus we are supporting local farmers. It's pretty cool.

3.) The Friday after thanksgiving, Mary wanted to set up for our very first Christmas in the new house! So we put up lights during the day, well sort-of into the night. Then at night, we had our annual Christmas tree decorating party. Lots more food, and Christmas music.

4.) On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we all headed up to Erica and Carter's to celebrate our annual "Left-Overs" Thanksgiving. Although Mary and Erica had to buy the Offical Roast Beast (tofu "throw up in my mouth" turkey)

5.) Justin happened to stumble on free tickets to an Avalanche game and a Nuggets came on back-toback nights. Saturday Nov. 28th - Avalanche Game, Sunday Nov. 29th - Nuggets Game. Justin won the hockey tickets during a raffle at the MSU bar, and a work friend supplied the b-ball tix.

6.) This year again, we made our Christmas cards by using a rubber stamp that Justin carved. It is quite a process. Justin thinks that Mary is over using his artistic ability, and does not like being treated as an "art-machine". Mary shuts him up by feeding him large amounts of beer. We made 80 cards this year, hopefully you have all received them by now?

7.) Our good old college friend, and Justin's old roomate, Aaron, came out to visit last weekend! So Tim, Aaron, and Justin all went up to Fort Collins to do a Brewery tour. Then over the weekend we went up to boulder, flagstaff rd., and attempted eating a 7lb. burrito (pictures wil explain it all). We had a blast, and Aaron you need to move out here!

Sorry this is so long, lots of events were taking place! Hope you have enough time to read and look at it all. Thanks and enjoy!

Most recent pic of dogs, I think that they like each other, I could be wrong though
