It has been a very exciting winter for us. The holidays were great and get better each year as the kids get older. Before the holidays I did something really exciting for "me"....I went on my first "girls trip." I went with my 2 very best friends...Marina and Kris and we went to Cancun (we got an amazing deal). We stayed for 3 nights and just had the best time spending quality time together at the pool, eating great food at the restaurants and we even enjoyed going to the gym while on vacation. It is a trip that I will never forget!
Me enjoying some great breakfast and a great view of the ocean.
The 3 of us all dressed up with no responsibilities.
I have the greatest friends.
Right after Christmas though, we got to celebrate Steve's 30th birthday while he was in town.

The big adventure of our winter was going on a trip to Colorado. Bob went skiing in Colorado last year for a bachelor party and as soon as he got back he started talking about going back this year....so we did. We went with Bob's brother Bill and his wife Linda.
We went night skiing in Keystone shorty after we arrived in Breckenridge. Other than Bob, it was all of our first time skiing in Colorado. I didn't do so well night skiing but I gave it another shot and went skiing in Breckenridge the next day and it went MUCH better. I loved it! It was very very cold but we tried to not let it get us down.
Here we are out to breakfast one morning.

The view from our condo (it was a ski in).
Bill and Linda....all ready to hit the slopes.

Me and Bob....I can't get over how funny we look with our big heads from our helmets/goggles and hats.
Me and Linda...we stuck with the green trails. At the end of the day though we took the big step and went on a blue trail (which later turned into a green trail). We wanted to take the trail that would lead us right to the condo. It was pretty scary taking the lift so high up the mountain, but we made it.
The guys were very glad to get away from us girls and ski on the blue trails. At the end of the day, they got on the wrong bus (going out of the town) and had to get off and walk about 2 miles with their ski boots on and ski gear in very very cold weather. Linda and I were warm and waiting for them in the hot tub not knowing what was taking them so long.
The beautiful town of Breckenridge.
You can see the amazing ski trails behind us.
Heading back to the airport.

We had a great trip and can't wait to go back.
We have not had a ton of snow here in St. Louis this winter so whenever we do, we have to take advantage and take the kids to play in the snow. This was our first snow fall that had good snowball and snowman making snow. We finally got to make a snowman with the kids (a small one since we only had about 2 inches). They were so proud.
So happy to be out in the snow.
