Beaver Creek Trip 2014

Every year for the past 6 or so years, our family has gone up to Beaver Creek, CO during the first weekend of December. Last year, the babies were just 6 weeks old when we went! We all look forward to this trip the entire year. This year, it was a smaller crew than normal because none of the Moore family was able to make it -- hopefully next year they'll be back :) The smaller (not so small) group included my parents, Brian, Terrisa, Paisley, Parker, Emily, Hannah, Jeremiah, George, Madeline, and me!

I had an especially great time this year. Last year, I didn't feel like I was able to enjoy it quite as much because, well, I had a 6 week old baby who we were traveling with for the first time! It was also awesome this year because George has become a pretty solid skier so we can ski everything together.

Here's a look at our trip:

The play room and game room were a new addition to the hotel this year. One of the nights, we ordered pizza and had a game night to celebrate Hannah's 20th birthday. It got pretty competitive!

Paisley, Parker, and Madeline made themselves at home in the game room!

There was a new little ski bunny on the slopes this year too -- Miss Paisley tried out skiing for the first time. Grandpa and Daddy did a lesson during one of the mornings. A few more years and she'll be on the mountain with the rest of us!

The kids love their Aunt Hannah and Aunt Emily! They're pretty awesome aunts :)

Love my little family --

FYI Madeline does not ever look at the camera (seriously...just wait until you get our Christmas card...we couldn't get one picture with her looking at the camera. Haha)

On Saturday afternoon, we hired a babysitter to watch the three kids so that we could all ski together. Here is a group shot. Check out those mountains!
