A beautiful Colorado afternoon with the dogs and kids. There were alot of weeds to sled over, but that didn't stop us! Once again, I love my zoom lens.
Samantha's first time on skiis! She went for it with no fear!
Our lover of life girl...
Jaxson losing his helmet at take off!
Brad takes a huge digger while trying to snowboard and from that bruises his knee!
Kris and Brock take a ride together!
Oh, he is having so much fun!!
The worst part of sledding-the climb. Sam and Isabella.
Derek takes a turn and runs into a pile of weeds...
Joe took it nice and easy since he wasn't really dressed for the occasion.
Taylor, Emily and Brock! I love these photos because they look like they are having so much fun! 
Grace takes a whirl on the skiis...
Snow angel!
I think Kris wished she could of gone faster!
I love this image of Samantha carrying a snow board. She looks so natural.
The big kids head for the big hill far away..Grant, Emily, Joe, Taylor and Jaxson.
Again, Emily is slipping in her Ugs, so she has to climb the hill on her knees.
Brock tries to catch up with the big kids. Oh so cute.
Here come the dogs, Jack and Bingo, to the rescue!
Sam tries snowboarding and falls in love with it-a natural snow bunny!

Samantha checking to see if Santa finished all his cookies and milk. He did, of course. 
The best presents we got were the homemade gifts from Sam. Brad got a guitar. 
And Emily got journals. All the things we asked for! 
Samantha got a surprise skateboard-something that wasn't on her Christmas wish list but just appeared under the tree! 
Joe can hardly wait. This boy LOVES Christmas.
The multitude of cameras start rolling as Santa arrives. 
Sometimes you can really see the resemblance of cousins, like this one of Samantha and Josh.
More cousins were added to the family as we welcomed Eduardo's kids for Christmas. This is his youngest daughter, Yadaira, with Sam. They became quick friends! 
Goodbye, Santa, until next year! 
Kids watching for Santa's sleigh taking off from Nanny's rooftop! 
Brad even had to take a peek! 
Eduardo's son, Yadiel, did some breakdancing for us!
I love the Acker cousins because they love being with each other. There is always alot of love going around when they are together! 
They played many rounds of "Down by the banks of the Hanky Panky..."
