Mountain Living



This past weekend, we went up to Steamboat Springs to spend time with my Aunt Jill and Uncle Jim. My Mom, Marv and my sis' family all did the trip with us. We had a great time, very busy with Valentine's day, baking cupcakes, skiing, sledding, chatting, etc.


Gavin had a wonderful time spending time with his cousins and the rest of the family. He also ventured outside to so some sledding, looking like an abominable snowman. He wasn't really digging the clothes and actually freaked out when I tried to put his boots on him. So he went sledding in his tennis shoes! He absolutely loved it, granted when we first started it was nice out, but by the end (about 20 minutes later) it was snowing like crazy. He kept falling backwards in the sled and his poor little face would get carpeted in flakes. It was very cute. He loves being outside!

The kids had a great time opening up their Valentine's Day gifts, playing, decorating cupcakes (I think they ate more of the frosting then actually got on the cupcakes) and making snowflakes and construction paper hearts. Little Miss Pyper actually went skiing for a few hours, you will note in some of the pics little sister Frankie wanted to wear her ski boot and helmet! Of course the adults had no fun at all! Mom, Marv and I hung out with the kids on Saturday while the rest of the group went skiing, Greg had a great time and actually did not complain once the next day that he was sore! We had a wonderful time and love going up there! Thank you so much Leary's for letting us come up and being so hospitable! We love you!
