Let it snow!

We ended 2009 reconnecting with family and began 2010 celebrating with old friends in Colorado. I had such an amazing time hanging out in Keystone with my cousins, seeing their kids who are now almost all grown up, and having plenty of hands willing to hold Eliza. Then we went to Granby for 2 nights to stay with fabulous girlfriend Reid and her family. We all went sledding, Cap shredded the mountain, Eliza went swimming for the first time, Addie got on Nordic skis and I even went myself. It was a perfect way to welcome in 2010.

Happy New Year!

I was so proud of Addie for trying out cross country skiing. She was a champion and despite the wipe out in this video (which Addie finds hilarious), she spent most of the time upright moving right along.
