For those that follow our blogs, you know just how much my dad has been keeping up with his...It's been 6 months since he posted something new! To help him out I updated and loaded all most of the Thanksgiving pictures there. I don't know that I need to duplicate it here. So feel free to follow the link on the side for Mom and Dad and you will see all the fun.
For us I thought of 2 that had to be here...
Nicole and Steve
And yes they really do make good wine in a box! Last night Steve and I had a chance to go the the Nuggets game against the Nets. With the worst record in the NBA (0-13!)we really were hoping the Nuggets did not overlook the Nets. I had never been to a pro-basketball game...It was a great night!

Andersen going up for a shot..Have I said it yet? I love being back in Colorado? I guess it falls under the old saying you don't know what you've got until its gone. Well, it took us moving away for 3 years to realize that.
For Steve, fall Sunday's have always been about watching the Broncos play football, something we couldn't always do from home in Tennessee. Sometimes Steve really gets into it, and I don't think I would have left the house with him looking like this yesterday!
Only thing missing was a big foam finger!
Steve helped Mac and his friends get started down the hill.
And there they go....
Mac bailed out...
They didn't all make it to the bottom on the sled
Steve really had a good time on the sleds too. He tried not to hit the fence but ended up rolling over instead.
There go the boys again...
And they fall off again....
Looks like they are having a blast! 
Poor Tots! He is definitely a warm weather dog! Every time it gets cold, he wants nothing to do with going outside. We have to force him to go out and take care of business. We had a fire going most of the day and Tots loved hanging out in front of it. The Incline in Manitou Springs...Never meant to be a trail. It began over a century ago as tracks for a work train used to install pipeline. Then for decades it acted as a tourist attraction bringing riders up the mountainside. When that train was scrapped in 1990 the abandoned ties became a workout for spot for mountain runners. It is short and steep, reaching a 50 degree slope at one point, gaining 2000 feet of elevation in 3/4 of a mile.
Nicole as we started up the trail
Here I am ready to begin
Part way up the trail...see how far we still have to go?
Steve gave up the camera long enough to tell he's still here!
Look at how far we have come
What an amazing view!
Steve and Nicole taking a moment to catch our breath
Are we there yet?!
We have definately come a long way!
We took the switchbacks on Barr Trail back down
Steve really did enjoy himself... 
I thought this bush was cool looking..Today was beautiful! It was hard to stay in the office today, I just wanted to be outside. So while I couldn't stay out all day I went on a wlak at lunch and I never get tired of the mountains.
I love the view!
Makes it hard to stay inside that's for sure...
I met a few deer along the walk back to work
They just hung out along the side of the road
The last two years the boys did not want to dress up for Halloween, so I was a little surprised when at the last minute they both wanted to. Whatever happened to the cute little boy costumes like the court jester or Buzz Lightyear from when they were little?!

Gangster Steve
I think he was having a little fun...
