Christmas In Colorado

Grandpa (Roger Shores), Madison, and Grandma (Dolly Shores)

Madi really had the unwrapping thin down.
I think her birthday a few weeks before was good practice!

Our lovely little family early Christmas morning

Christmas was a lot of fun this year. We were anxious and excited to get out of the house and away from home after being cooped up so long. We drove to Montrose, Colorado to visit Roger, Dolly, Matt and Jared. The trip was a lot of fun with a full house. This Christmas was the first Christmas all the Shores brothers were together in six years due to overlapping missions. Of course Grandma and Grandpa were happy to have thier only grandchild there as well. Madison had the time of her life considering she got all the attention she desired. She picked up a new trick of going backwards down the stairs which is great, but got really old when that is all she wanted to do all weekend. Dolly and Roger also had a new puppy and he and Madi would take turns chasing eachother and stealing toys from eachother. It was really cute to watch Madi.

hey chris! We should have a pony party! That sounds so funny. But it would be fun to get all of us together...i will look into it.

We all get our stuff from free digital scrapbook sites. You download them, they you have to upload them as a picture on page elements, right click to copy image location, then paste it into HTML. it can be very confusing. see if that helps at all.here are some sites i use for scrapbook pages.
