My Little Artist

John drew a picture of him and his sister. He is bigger because he has long legs he told me. This is the first time he has actually drawn a picture that resembled anything so I was quite proud.

Playing in the Snow

I think the best investment we made on our trip was to buy a sled our first night. Holly and Chelsey took John out while Burt and I skiied one night. Then we took a family day out with Chelsey as well.

Clara did not like sitting in the snow.

Night Skiing

The second day we all decided just the night skiing would do us well, except for Burt who skiied all day. The previous day was my first day of snow skiing as well so it was an adventure up on the slopes that night. John asked me the first time down the mountain how many times I fell? When I told him three, he said, "That's ok mom!" He is such a sweetheart! We had a great night skiing with the whole group except getting off the lift I caused my sis to fall and she has a broken finger because of me. Believe me, I feel awful!!

Our little skiing family minus our ski bunny who is just too little. All of the siblings right off the ski lift, also the last we saw of the brothers until the end of the night since they left the green slopes.

My sis and I on the ski lift, minutes before I made her fall.
John showing off his skills for Mimmie.

A little tired so some skiing with dad.

One very tired little boy, he wanted some hot chocolate and to hang out with the big boys. I went to check on him and he was passed out and no one had even noticed.
