Day in Denver

We visited the Denver Museum of Nature and Science today with Hommie and Dabi.

In the Space exhibits, you can play with the infrared camera.

After the museum, the girls went to the American Girl Doll store.  I used my birthday gift card for a hair appointment for Abby and new clothes for Cloe' and Jack my new Biddy Twins.

Here's our after picture.

And here's a close up of Abby, post hair appointment.  Doesn't she look great!?

The boys went to the Lego store.  FFF fun was had by all.

We stayed in the same house we rented last January.

Here's the birthday crew under the Keystone Elf .  He stayed with us over the weekend since Flash, Kringle and Harry had the weekend off.

Yep, we all fit into one gondola!

Santa and one of his reindeer happened to be in town.  We were surprised to see him so close to Christmas.
