VACATION!

We are officially on vacation! We have a week off, and we are spending it in the mountains to ski. Jeff is too funny, he said he is more excited about this ski vacation (we are just going to our condo in winter park) than Mexico!  What a goof- I guess that just reinforces what a great idea it was to buy a second home in the mountains, right?  We are having visitors for the weekend, our good friends Laurie and Joe are coming and bringing their lovely daughter Ella who is Lauren's age.  We have been looking forward to their visit since we planned the trip last autum- these guys are the kind of "easy" friends where you feel so comfortable and it is a joy to have them as guests.  You know what I mean? We just be ourselves, no stress, no pressure- it is going to be so fun.  The girls are going to check out daycare on the mountain (read= two mamas actually get to ski for once...) and we are going to have a great time. 

Other activities for the week, well- lots of skiing (snowboarding for me- too cool for ski's ya know...), some snowshoeing (we still need a Kelty for Lauren, hmmmmmm) and just generalized relaxing in the mountains. Oh, and I would assume a lot of beer drinking and pigging out. Hmmm- does sound fun, doesn't it??

ps- this picture is from July. Can you believe this is the same girl? Gosh, she changes so fast!
