First ski lesson for Iris
Iris had her first day on skis last weekend. She took a lesson at Brighton. It was painful to watch with lots of falling, but she insisted she had fun and wants to go back and do it again. I'm not sure if that is really because she got stickers and a cookie at the end of the day or because she truly enjoyed it, but we'll be back at Brighton next weekend!

We love when Aunt Jen comes to town
A few more pictures from Jen's visit. We were all going through Jen withdrawal the day after she left. Out of the blue at dinner Miles said if he could ask for one wish it would be to have Aunt Jen back at our house because she is so fun and he missed her.

| New Years yoga practice. Hello 2014! |
 |
| Our New Years Eve outing. And a very appropriate movie since the theme is Sisters Before Misters :) |
 |
| Tubing fun |
 |
| Blurry but my FAVE! Seriously...that tubing hill is awesome! |
 |
| Books before bed |
 |
| O yes...and wrestling and tickling before bed! |
 |
| We miss you! |
Hello 40!
40 years old! I still feel twenty-something in my brain, so it seemed impossible that I was turning 40 last week. I didn't trip over too much though because my life is pretty great.
The highlight of the big day was Jen being in town. She came for a week to hang out and amazingly enough the world's worst secret keeper kept a big secret from me! She planned a weekend getaway for just the two of us up at Sundance. And not just any old getaway. I'm talking total splurge, total blast, total relaxer of a getaway. Hours of spa treatments, a beautiful cabin in the woods, fancy meals out, yoga and we topped it off with jewelry making class, so now we both have beautiful rings to remember our fun weekend with. I am so thankful for a sister who is all heart...so generous and fun. Thanks Jen (and Greg!) for the best surprise I've ever had in my whole life. Love you!

Barrick Christmas Party
I just needed to put these pictures up as evidence that the old folks still get out and have some fun! Too much fun in this case, but it was our one night a year to get fancy for the Barrick Holiday party. It was at the Grand America this year. We didn't win the amazing raffle, but we had good company and good food and the night was a blast. These are pictures of pictures from the photo booth they had, so a little blurry but still fun.
Christmas 2013
I just realized my last post was November 1. I've been slacking! O well...just in time for a Christmas post.
We had another fun holiday. At 3 and 6 years old, both kids are still believers in the man in red. We left him some milk and pie and Miles even made him a present. We made sure to leave both things right near the fireplace so they wouldn't be missed :)
It was the year for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Legos, My Little Pony, Sophia the First and a whole bunch of other fun stuff. And again...I looked around at all the fun and all the love and was so thankful for family, health (minus the bronchitis that rocked my world for the past 2 weeks), shelter, food in the fridge, a job I really like, etc.
