Brad Paisley Concert!

So for Christmas I was spoiled and got among many things tickets to the Brad Paisley concert! It was amazing! In order to keep his ticket cost down, he was sponsored by Hershey's. Because of this we got to sit on the tenth row! I had the time of my life! What made it so great was that three of my favorite country singers were there! Thank you so much for the wonderful time TJ! I love you so much!
This was the first show of his new 2008 Bonfires and Amplifiers tour.

This is Chuck Wicks. He sings the song "Stealing Cinderella." So for Christmas, since his album wasn't out yet, I got the Disney movie Cinderella with a note saying that TJ had already stolen his Cinderella!
Rodney Atkins was second. He sings a song called, "I've Been Watching You." For Christmas I got his album with a note that said TJ has been watching me and falling more in love! I have the most amazing husband ever!

The star of the night, Brad Paisley! It was amazing when he came out to hear the crowd go wild. There was so much energy in the Pepsi Center when he came out!

Brad Paisley sings a song ,"Letters to Me." The note to this CD was about TJ's letter to himself. He would make sure to write going to Wisconsin and sitting by me!
Man we were so close! This was such a wonderful night!

Museum of Nature and Science

On our quest to see Denver, we went to the Museum of Nature and Science. It was so much fun. We spent about four hours trying to see the three story museum. The only down side to the day was that it was the last weekend for a big display of the Titanic so there were a ton of people forming lines in a lot of the exhibits. I was very impressed with the exhibits that they had.
The wide eyes are due to the biggest nugget of gold in at least Colorado. They had a room of all gold and silver. WOW is all I have to say!
Here I am with the BEAVER! I had to take this picture since I was a beaver in high school. GO BEAVERS! A little high school nostalgia.
I have to say that the mummies were one of my favorites! This is actually a real mummy They used to sell mummies like suvieneers. Visit Egypt come home with your very own mummy - how crazy!

TJ was excited about the dinosaur room. It was really cool. The room took you through all the ages of the world. At the end of exhibit there was a place where you could see them working on the bones.

The Jazz Game

We were lucky to get to go to a Jazz game while we were in Utah. We enjoy going to games. The Jazz won because we were there! I like to think highly of myself and say that I am a good luck charm! It was a lot of fun! We bought Jazz track jackets to wear when we go to the Jazz game here against the Denver Nuggets. We are both very excited to wear them.

The Hungarian Tie Quilt

This was a very special gift. When TJ went on his mission to Hungary he bought many different ties. He brought them home so that they could be turned into a quilt. Well they are now a beautiful quilt. Mom Gray worked very hard and put so much love in this gift. It turned out so great! We love it and it keeps us very warm. This is a quilt that will always have great meaning to the two of us, altough I think a little more for TJ. It is so fun to watch him look at the quilt and talk about the ties! Thank you so much for the great gift. We also are so grateful for all you do for the two of us!

Christmas with the Grays

Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning we spent at the Grays. Christmas Eve we went to Grandma and Grandpa Goble's home. We played Christmas BINGO. It was fun to share in new family traditions. I just love being married and getting to do new things with another super fun family. Christmas morning we had a great time opening presents and spending time with family and friends during the traditional Gray Crepes and Omelets breakfast. Steven came to breakfast as well so he wasn't all alone since Annie was in Kentucky. He had a crepe eating contest with Marci that I think never really ended. My favorite part of the whole day was opening up TJ's gift to me. He gave me the most thoughtful gift. He gave me a four part gift leading up to a concert with three artists that we both love to listen to. I love you sweetheart!

This is the opening of the "BIG BOX" another Gray tradition. The big box comes early and is not addressed to anyone until Christmas morning. The person that gets the BIG BOX is never the same person. I like this tradition!

Christmas with the Warners

We flew to Utah to spend Christmas with our families. We were very lucky to get to spend time with both sides. First we had Christmas with my side. We had a great time visiting and playing with the family. Santa was very kind to us. We love our new game called Ticket to Ride. The best part of the day was spending it with family and knowing that we were all together. Love you all very much!

Getting ready to open presents!
Mom and Dad as we were opening gifts. It was so much fun to get to see them since it was the Grays turn for Christmas. Thanks for everything you do for the two of us. We sure do love you two!
Kim and David while we were opening presents. It has been fun to get to know David and we are excited to get to know him more! Payton loved opening up presents. It was fun to watch him get excited to open his gifts. I love the excitment of young children. I am so excited to have young children in the family again.
