Learning to ski

It can go in the record books, the girls officially learned how to ski at 3 years old this year! They were so excited to get on their skis and learn how so they could go skiing with everybody!  We took them up several times by ourselves and got them going down the bunny hill.  Then they each took 3 lessons to learn how to snowplow, stop, and turn.  They mastered these skills by the end of the season, and they can't wait to try out their new skills next year on the BIG mountain :)


 Katie took the girls up to the kidtopia snowfort one day and got some great pictures!


 Sophia was a champion skiier! She never got frustrated or scared and she goes as fast as she can!  She did great in all 3 lessons and whenever we took her.




 Isabella got off to a great start with us, but the first lesson was a bit much for her :( She decided she didn't want to stay for the lesson and we had to come get her from the "sick and tired" room after an hour!  We decided to make a BIG DEAL out of how much fun ski lessons are so after that we had a ski lesson party complete with cake, ice cream, candles and presents after each lesson.  The ski lesson parties did the trick and she was thrilled to go back and stay for the remaining 2 lessons!

Brunch with Geri and Steve


It was lots of fun to have Geri and Steve come for a weekend visit before Christmas, we had a great time catching up with them and making a yummy brunch!

The girls have been busy lately practicing putting on their "angry eyes" and taking them off, so cute!

Go Broncos!!

Thanksgiving

This year the holidays seemed to arrive quicker than usual, especially when we arrived back from mexico less than one week before thanksgiving! But we were able to transition from margharitas on the beach to baileys and coffee by the fire easily enough I suppose :) It was a wonderful turkey day spent with great food and family, and a time to reflect on all that we are thankful for.










 



The Elf on the Shelf arrived at our house shortly after Thanksgiving.  The girls named him Twinkles and are looking forward to having him around all month :)
