Tonight we started another family tradition for Christmas. You know me and tradition. The Broadmoor is a very fine 5 star resort in the Springs. They do a ceremony called Lighting of the Lights each year. The American Cancer Society is the main sponsor for the night.We just had to go. It was beautiful. The grounds are amazing and the interior of each wing was finely decorated.
This is an ice sculpture. Wow! Oh yes, And happy Holydays to you!
This is a view from across the lake. I was standing on the bridge at the time. I really must stay here sometime.
Inside the East Wing was this Gingerbread City. It was really lovely. Check out the architecture on the ceiling and the walls.
The girls are becoming experts at self portraits. They were saving the bench for Grandma here.
Boo is especially fond of self-portraits. Too much like her mother!
Before the Lighting of the Trees we escaped to this coffee house in the West Wing for some hot Co Co. mmm.
And Ta Da! The big center Christmas tree is lit! There were lights that went on all over the resort. It was so pretty. Now it was time to go home and eat. Another family Colorado Christmas tradition has begun.PS. Yes, I am up at 5 am, actually around 4 is when I REALLY woke up. My tummy isn't feeling so hot. Well, when I walked downstairs it looked awfully bright outside. It snowed a lot during the night and the refection was shining in the house. A God-made night light. We are really hopeful for a white Christmas this year. :)

When you get a chance cn you take some pictures of outside and post so we can see them. The one you sent from your phone was really pretty. This happens every time I leave. Vail has had 18" of snow in the last 2 days.
That was a post from Robby by the way. I am logged in as Joanna. Opps
It looks like a great place to stay! The girls look so beautiful too. :)
