December rocked as per usual... here are a few of the things we were up to
The Colorado Symphony puts on a Christmas concert every year. After the show we walked to Larimer Square where the lights were on, it was snowing... and salted caramel hot chocolate awaited us.
Many evenings (at least when we were home) were spent by the fire with the Christmas tree on - magic
Matt and I went to a chef's private lunch in the kitchen at the Hyatt. The food was unbelievable - four courses, and started off with jamon serrano from Spain ($1,000 for the leg)... delish!
I had several modeling jobs - the one above... I kept breaking all of the bands - who knew I was incredibly buff? :)
Not a bad seat at all
We went to a Killers concert with Teagan and Sarah opening and Cirque du Soleil - both AWESOME!
The cutest, cuddliest, smooshiest, doggie that ever lived was snuggled and kissed plentifully.
Crazy hair was had... I just woke up and it looked like this... totally raw footage here people.
Homemade chocolate-covered caramels for the blessed cookie exchange. Only problem with this sacred event is that the cookies don't last long enough.

Ginger planned a super sweet evening at the Botanic Gardens Blossoms of Light. The 3-D glasses were not just ordinary 3D glasses - they turned the lights into Christmas images (differing depending on the pair you were wearing). They were fabulous - and probably the closest to a drug trip we'll ever come - they are highly recommended.
Ginger had us over for homemade pizza, and an impromptu game of hilarious charades. Her stunning Dr. Seuss tree is pictured above.
big finish...
We had Mickey, Doris, and Ginger over for our annual Christmas dinner (and gift to them)... an extravagant dinner prepared by my muscular better half. The place setting featured Matt's new Christmas soup tureen (what kind of a guy wants a handgun and a soup tureen for Christmas? amazing).
Smoked Tomato bisque (with added bacon)
Homemade lobster mascarpone ravioli, cherry balsamic reduction, shaved parmesan, arugala, sage brown butter sauce. I want to eat this every day for the rest of my life. the end.
Halibut, sweet potato puree, fire roasted red pepper sauce
Florentines with pastry cream, berries, and a raspberry puree
It really was that good!
