Christmas is Coming in Denver

Spent the last week with the Sodens in Denver.

 Before I left I had to go to the Bend post office. I managed to arrive in the middle of a local nonprofit mailing 478 Christmas packages to deployed military men and women from the area. 
This was just part of the mailing. The post office turned out all hands and dedicated two of their five windows to process them all. All in all, it went pretty well and nobody in line for the other three windows was complaining. 

Spencer came down with a fever on the day I arrived and missed the whole week of school. Amy got it three days later and the rest of us are holding our collective breaths. Everyone is on the mend now and Mom and Dad are looking forward to back to school day tomorrow. 

Whole family spent two days building four gingerbread houses 
Spencer wanted to put his three Ninjas and the Christmas tree inside the small house so I took this before we put on the roof. 
Grandpa developed a reputation as a roofing contractor.  
Molly added the candy cane arch after the group photo. 

Been a fun week and it's back to Bend tomorrow.
