THe HoPPiNG FaMIiY--chasing bugs and eating dirt: Trip to Denver, Halloween, Thanksgving in Telluride and Christmas 2011

Wow! I am trying to play catch up on our family blog. I am hoping to get caught up with blogging this summer! =) Anyway, Michael and I took a trip without the boys back in August to visit Chris and Noelle in Denver. Let me just say Denver is fabulous! Their home is right downtown, in heart of everything! It is fabulous! We walked everywhere, and it was wonderful! Maybe one day we could move there! Ha! =)
This year we spent Thanksgiving in Telluride, which was great going skiing on Turkey Day. Dawson learned to ski for the first time. He loved every minute! It is so beautiful in the mountains! It wasn't too cold yet. Noelle and Chris came up from Denver, so that was fun visiting with them. We will be back this summer. We spent Christmas at the farm in Canton this year and drove back just in time to see what Santa brought the boys. The boys had fun doing all the "farm things" at Mimi's, riding tractors, playing with the dogs, etc... We even got a chance to do Christmas on the square of Canton and visiting the Children's Museum of Mississippi. It was so pretty, seeing all the lights on Canton Square. It was fun to look at their expressions on Christmas morning. Here are a few pictures--
