We started our trip bright and early (4:30 AM!) and got to Denver just in time to go through the temple with Jason's sister for her first time. Leah's little pink suitcase was the biggest cause for tears throughout the whole trip- she never wanted to give it up at security.
Adam was a champ on the flight to Denver, a terror on the flight to Salt Lake, and an out-of-control Sky Mall magazine ripper on the flight back to Indiana. All in all, the kids did great.
Sarah and Matt got married the next day, and the wedding and reception were both beautiful. Leah loved being the "flower girl" mainly because she got to wear such a "twirlable " dress, Adam slept through most of the reception, Jason is thrilled to have another guy in the family, and I am excited have another in-law to pass my wisdom along to... or something like that.
The next few days were filled with birthday parties, Christmas gifts, and visiting family. It was fairly relaxing, and we left wanting to stay a few days more. Leah learned how to play Barbies from the experts.
Both kids were ridiculously spoiled all month long, especially Leah since her birthday is so close to Christmas. I've started boxing up toys to pull out later in the year in an effort to ward off the "gimmies".
Jason didn't end up getting Lasik because he has a degenerative disease that makes him ineligible due to faulty cornea placement. We were both sad to learn that, but leave it to a geneticist to be excited about it, since he can map it, test the kids for it, and help find a cure! Talk about turning lemons into lemonade.
