HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you all had great holidays! Ours were great, but I have to admit that I am happy to move on and start the new year!
I had to put this picture in. Bradley has lost his baby look and is so stinkin cute these days!!

One of the best part of our holiday's was our trip to Montana. One of my dreams was fulfilled. We took our whole family skiing for the first time and it was one of the best days of my life. Ricky skiied this time instead of snow boarding. I bringing him to the true snow sport!!

Ashton only went down a couple of times and loved it. It was so, so cold and he loved skiing, but would freeze on the lift, so he spent much time in the lodge.

All the kids had a bad morning, but after they warmed up they tried again and loved it!! Burke went up and down, up and down. He didn't wait for adults or anything. He loved it!

Ellie is so my girl!! Ricky taught the boys, and I got to teach Ellie. We had so much fun! She would fall and get right back up. Her determination paid off big time. About halfway down the run, she wanted to ski by herself without my help so I obliged. She did great and decided that she loves skiing.
I am so happy that we got to do this together! My life is complete, once Brad is old enough to hit the slopes with us!

Brad spent the day in the lodge. He is too little to ski and it was 2 below zero! He could barely stand being outside for a few minutes. He had lots of fun playing with Ash and Briar inside.

One of the other highlights of our trip was ice skating on a frozen lake. We have only ever been on a rink. It was beautiful!! Ellie used this walker to get the hang of skating.

Ashton lasted about 5 minutes on skates. It was bitterly cold and he didn't like it. At least I got one picture with skates on.

Burke was so determined. He fell, and fell and fell, but he never gave up trying. He was out the longest and feel the most, but he did a great job. It was so beautiful out on this lake! I loved every minute of it!

Braxton did a great job as well. He learned how to roller blade, so this was not to hard for him.
