60 Years and Baby Liam

We celebrated my parents' 60th birthday this weekend. Even baby Liam got to join in the fun. Above: my parents, Claire, Anna, cousin Liam and cousin Brodey.

Hilton Head

Our annual trip to Hilton Head, SC with the Hubers!
We made overnight stops at the TN Rileys 1/2 way through both ends of the drive. Thank you, thank you Rileys -- looking forward to all of the fun we get to have with you guys makes the drive much more fun!

So much fun was had in Hilton Head. About 4 days after being home Claire asked if we could go back "on Tuesday". It's so fantastic to be able to share a vacation with our fabulous friends. Thank you, thank you Prescotts for sharing your home with us. So generous!!!

New Skier

We prepared ourselves for a very short ski trip (luckily the ski hill is 15 min. from home), but Claire LOVED skiing. She had the biggest smile on her face all day. Anna was not so pleased with waiting at the bottom of the hill.

Christmas

It was great to see so many family and friends this holiday season!

Giant Gingerbread

Claire, Anna and Brynna spent some time inspecting and devouring Clasen's giant ginger bread house.

Sick Ponies

Claire gathered up her Pretty Ponies and reported, "Some of my ponies are sick; they have the swine flu". Four-year-olds are up on their communicable diseases.
