I've seen pictures of a rather tall (like 2 stories) fan palm growing in Iowa where the guy wraps the whole thing in insulation every winter. With yours, you could always mulch them well and cover them when the temps are going to be below 20 degrees or so.

Certainly, to each their own with how they choose & care for their various plants & trees.
My comments were intended to help you if you were serious about i.d.'ing the various palms you have purchased & were specifically interested in maintaining them for more than 1 growing season.
My own dining room becomes a major green zone every winter as I bring in & care for my more tender plants (non of them are true palms) until they can go back outside again in their pots.
Other plants that are marginal for winter in my area & are planted in the ground, can be more successfully wintered over with proper care such as mulching.
It is past mid August now & you have just purchased the palms. As such, your own growing season before the average early october first killing frost in your area is not tremendously far off, as in a month and a half away. So whatever you do with them, be aware that their outside growing season may be quite short from this point going forward.
As for the palms being a "tree", that is not neccesarily the case.
I'd provide supporting links here but my office firewall prevents the successful attachment of links onto city-data threads. So, form a question via google that asks, "Are all palms considered to be trees." A little bit of knowledge can go a long way to determine the success or failure in the growing of plants &/or trees, whether they are inside or outside.
You have purchased some cute plants & might enjoy watching them grow in pots inside once the frost date approaches.
But, as I said earlier, "to each their own" to enjoy as they see fit.

I will think about that but I was told they can survive the cold in Pueblo.

Looks like a needle palm on the right. That should survive no problem, as I think they are good to hardiness zone 5.
