Good Lord what were we thinking?!

So once again, we headed out of town after Christmas...gluttons for punishment ;) We (my whole immediate family, plus parents, sis/niece and aunt) headed to the beautiful, very snowy and cold Steamboat Springs, CO. The big girls were great on the flight, sweet Sam threw a massive tantrum and almost put her mom into a major anxiety attack. But once we landed all was well and the real fun began...she even liked getting bundled up!

Morgan was super happy to see the snow too...she didn't mind the hats, gloves, boots etc...and really was smiles for most of the time unless she had to share toys with her cousin and nemesis Olivia :) Both Morgan and Sam were in child care for 2 days, which they really seemed to like.
Mia did hit ski school and did AWESOME. She sure hated layering on the clothes but was so super excited after her first day (pic below) and loved the second day too. If we would have stayed one more day, I would have taken her down easy slope with me. I so very much look forward to ski with her and all the girls!


After coming off the mountain and its zero degree weather, we felt like we deserved a hot toddie...Mia had hot chocolate, Marcie and I something a bit stronger. Cheers to us and a great trip despite lots of whining and NOISE. Ski clothes, can't wait to use you again!

I'll add more pics later especially of sledding - which was fun for all! Thanks mom/dad for another amazing family trip! Oh, I promise Christmas pics will be coming soon...such a fun time with little ones!
