Ski season is officially underway here in Colorado and we are enjoying every minute we can on the slopes! James has progressed to doing black diamonds and moguls and I am comfortable on most blue runs now and doing the snowplow less and less every day. I don't know if I'll ever be able to keep up with my husband but it feels good be picking up some speed finally. We got the chance to try Beaver Creek last weekend and it was an amazing experience, so beautiful there that we were sad to Leave the Beav at the end of the day! Here is our home away from home - the top of Dercum mountain at Keystone...
James, Mimi and Papa took the girls, Joseph and Andrew on a sled ride while Bradley, Jolene and I went skiing - looks like they all had fun! Here is James pulling Sophie, Bella and Joseph...
The little kids all sledding together
Sweet little Sophie enjoying the snow
I almost wanted to say that this is the whole crew - but we are missing Mimi and Papa in this picture, no wonder the people who live below us think there is a herd of elephants in the condo - we have a rather large group :)
Ah, nothing like some Captain to warm you up after a long day on the slopes!
Andrew, Bella and Sophie in the tub - so fun watching the cousins play together
Our new obsession is "nigh nigh" time to go to sleep, but just for pretend, they never actually want to go to bed!
The kiddos all really enjoy playing together and it is great that we finally decided to put Andrew in with the girls for naps and bedtime, although the room is crowded with 3 pack n plays we are all sleeping much better now! Unfortunately Sophie learned how to climb out last weekend... so far she has only done it when she is done sleeping and not in the middle of the night so we are hoping she can stay in there for a little while longer. It was quite a shock to open the door and see her standing there the first time she did it! Andrew and Bella were just looking at her like "whooah that is cool, can you let us out now!"
