The day after Christmas we headed to Montana for some skiing and fun in the snow. It was the coldest weather we've ever had, but we still managed to get in some good ski days. Blake was such a trooper, he skied in 3 degree weather and was perfectly happy about it. We bundled him up with hand, foot and body warmers and he wore my ski vest. MY ski vest! Blake, I can not believe how fast you've grown this year, only another year or so until I can start stealing your sweatshirts :) We took the kids bowling, hot tubbing and sledding to keep busy when it was too cold to ski and of course there was lots of crazy cousin time too. It's so fun to see how much Blake loves skiing and to have "little" Leo around with all of his toddler words, but seeing Lauren and Georgia play together for days on end is the best.
Stories with Leo, this little guy LOVES his Uncle.
The first day out these girls got right back on the chairlift.
On the day it was too cold to ski, Blake "surfed" the snow in the yard on a sled. I guess snowboarding may be in our future.
our skiers turned in to bowlers when it was 7 below

We tried to get some family photos one afternoon. I don't think my camera likes the cold, I got a lot of weird, blurry pictures. Here's the best of what I had:
Happy New Year
GG, Lauren and Lori, the world's best ski teacher!
It was cold but beautiful at the top of the mountain.
