A Wonderful Christmas 2009

Christmas was wonderful this year! On Christmas Eve, Dave and I were in Colorado Springs. We spent time with Kali and my dad in the afternoon until mom got off work. Eventually Sarah and Kezia made it over and we enjoyed yummy meatball sandwiches and shrimp cocktail!! A Ghiazza Christmas tradition!! Kali could barely contain herself with excitement of opening gifts, but she waited until it was dark to open her first one. I think I would have let her open them at like 2... I am such a sucker! Mom and Dad bought us Wii's so we opened one up and played. I think Kali and Sarah liked it the most! Michael got off work late but made it for some grub and Wii. It was a wonderful night.

The next morning Dave and I opened a few presents then headed out to Berthoud. We decided to wear our footsie pajamas up to Dave's parents house. It was great, but a little warm... I guess adults aren't made to wear fleece footie pj's. Who would have thought? We took Asher up to Berthoud with us and it took her time to relax, since I am sure she could still smell the cats even though only Babe, the dog, was there. It was a quiet Christmas morning and afternoon filled with games and relaxation. I really enjoyed staying in my pj's ALL day. Thank you for all the wonderful gifts!

Dave and I are very blessed to have such wonderful families. Thank you all for a really great Christmas! Thank you Jesus for coming to this earth and Happy Birthday:)

O' the Joys of Christmas...

Dave and I went to Golden on Saturday for a Christmas parade. I got these adorable handmade ornaments from a local artist. I had to post a picture because they are too cute.



Also, tonight I got home from work to find Dave and his friend Tyler in footie pj's playing SEGA. It was awesome. I guess they are ready for Santa:)

Medical School Prom 2009

Yes, that's right, last night Dave and I attended Medical School Prom 2009! We had a blast dancing, singing a little karaoke and just enjoying the fact that Dave gets two weeks off!!! Before prom, we went out to eat with a group of people. We had some yummy Italian food then headed to the dance.

Downtown was beautiful!



I really liked the giant nutcracker:)


Friends: Keely and me (she was the one who ran a 1/2 marathon with me this past summer)



The beautiful ladies that went to dinner: Nicole, Keely and me.

Girl's Day in Denver!

Merry Christmas Mom! I gave mom a haircut and color for Christmas so her and Kezia came to Denver. Sarah went with us to lunch and we had a yummy Italian inspired meal. Next, Kez, Mom and I went shopping in the Pavilions off 16th Street in Denver before heading to the Aveda Salon off Market downtown. I had sooo much fun watching Kezia and Mom get their hair highlighted and cut. Kezia's hair stylist LOVED her and could not say enough about how HOT she was. Mom was looking pretty smokin' too! It was such a great afternoon and here are some pictures!
