Christmas vacation

We were on the move this holiday. First, we were off to the cabin at Granby with Niles family for 4 days around Christmas. We had a great time sledding, eating, sleeping and playing with cousins. Afterwards, we were off to Keystone with my family for 4 days for some skiing, hot tubs and ice skating....there was also lots of food involved. I highly recommend ski school...it's great having someone else teach your kids the basics of skiing. It's fabulous! We all had a blast and the twins are so sad that their cousins aren't around 24/7 to play with.....Back to real life. Thanks to our parents for providing such a fun Christmas break. We had a wonderful time with both families.



Niles and the twins listening to Grandpa Russ read the Christmas Story.

The usual pile of cousins on poor Avery.

Soren sledding...no fear, this one.

All the fear went into this one..Lovey braving the cold with Niles.

Doesn't get much cooler than this.

The bus ride back to the condo..possibly as much of a highlight as ski school.
