So, we had the best holidays here in Colorado and loved it! It is so nice that all of Aaron's families live here in Colorado except for his folks that are on a mission in Hawaii. We had such a great time with everyone. For starters...on Christmas Eve we had a huge dinner with all of us and some extra family, about 35 of us in all! Quite the household, it was fabulous.
Santa coming with a bag full of goodies for all the kids
And of course...Chrismas Caroling!!
(My favorite is when Stewy played the guitar for all of us to sing along!)
And we cannot forget....receiving warm Hawaiian greetings from Aaron's parents!!
Now for Christmas Day!!!
Our first Christmas together as almost Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Powell! We stayed at Aaron's brother's Brent and Holly's place with their 3 boys on Christmas Day. His other brother Dave and wife Caroline were there as well. It was so fun to watch the boys open their presents on Christmas day and it was fun to play with them as well. Another favorite part of the day was just hanging out and possibly not changing out of our pj's until 4 pm. Yikes. I think that part made it feel just like home.
The only part that didn't quite feel like sunny Las Vegas was the wild snow that we got on Christmas day. Starting around 9 in the morning it started snowing like crazy and when all was said and done we got about 6-8 inches. My first white Christmas!!!
We hope all enjoyed the Christmas season to remember our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are so grateful for this time to be with family and friends. We also can't wait to be with all of our close family and friends at our wedding next week!! We can barely hold ourselves together in anticipation for the big day! We love you all, and are so excited to see those who are able to make it! The next post will be of the official Aaron and Robyn Powell!!!
