We live in a town that has a pretty good college hockey team - the Colorado College Tigers. I used to take Bradford to games when he was younger; now, the torch has been passed to Jackson. He's a huge CC fan; the only team he roots over the Tigers is the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves (in honor of his big brother who goes to school there). Tonight, CC beat Nebraska-Omaha 5-2 and one of the Tigers scored a "hat trick." Jack tried his hand at "chuck-a-puck" but no luck tonight.
Last week, the Country Club of Colorado has a gingerbread house event. Charee picked up Jack from school and they went to make their own creation. The head chef from the Cheyenne Mountain Resort made all of the gingerbread pieces plus, all of the other candies and frosting were provided. Charee said that Jack had a lot of fun making it (took two hours). The candy corn "icicles" used to go completely across the front of the house, but dad has been secretly picking it apart.
I think that it turned out pretty good! About 20 or so families showed up for the festivities and there were only a couple of cranky dads who were apparently dragged there against their will...
Finally, here's a picture from a "Christmas Past." I'm pretty sure that this is from 2002 when Bradford was 12 (the last one before Jackson was born). Jack and I are really looking forward to seeing him in just 11 days in Alaska.
Way cool gingerbread!!!
