Kitty's Birthday

 Happy birthday to Kit the Mit Kit, Kit Cat! She holds a very special place in all of our hearts. She couldn't eat the whole cupcake herself. Thank goodness Ava was there to help. 

Spring Break at the Horschmans

For spring break, we made the trip to spend some quality time with our west side besties. While we were there, we celebrated Cole's birthday and Easter. 

Aiden's Tenth Birthday

Ten years old! Hard to believe Aiden has hit double digits. His birthday was full of the things he loves: a slumber party with his best buds, skiing and a scavenger hunt that included dancing on the magic carpet, hugging trees, and riding every chair, lots of Lego creations, and brunch with his vaccinated grandparents - none of which were possible last year at this time! Aiden is the most empathetic kid I know and he always keeps us laughing with his quick wit. We are so proud to be his parents. 

 

Ski Pic Dump

 We have had some beautiful blue bird days of skiing this year! We loved skiing with Auntie Lala, Bridget, the Thompsons, and the Hibbards this year!

Stuffie Love

 Lately Ava has been making stuffy forts to sleep in and it cracks us up. 

Christmas Break Ski Trip

 Since Nick and Molly are living in Park City this winter, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit them. We decided to drive to avoid the risk of Covid on airplanes. On our way, we spent a night at Bogus Basin Mountain in Idaho. We stayed in a condo on top of the mountain and had a blast. The snow was a bit slushy, but the views were incredible, I can no longer keep up with Aiden, and Ava did the best skiing of her life!

From there, we headed to Park City. Nick and Molly surprised us with matching shirts when we showed up. Although there wasn't much snow, we had so much fun skiing with them and exploring the city. We even spent Christmas day skiing and Elfy managed to find us too!

Gorgeous sunrise on our way home!

Covid Santa Pictures

Santa pictures look a little different this year!

First Ski of the Season

We are so happy to be able to ski, even though there are still so many Covid restrictions. We decided not to use the lodge this year so we will be tailgating for lunch. A gorgeous blue bird day made that pretty easy for us today. It was so warm and beautiful!

 

Thanksgiving

 We kept Thanksgiving small this year - just us and Grammie and Grandpa. It was an excellent evening complete with our first deep fried turkey and of course National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation afterward. 

2020 Election

 The 2020 presidential election has been like no other. Donald Trump and his supporters divided Americans on so many issues, most especially Covid. To say we are relieved to have him out of office is an understatement. All politics aside, tonight was a beautiful moment in our nation's history watching the first ever female and woman of color become the vice president. I am so grateful that my kids could witness this.
