Winter Holiday

Every year at xmas time, we have been fortunate enough to travel to spend it with family (California and Brisbane) or in some exotic location (South Africa and Fiji). This year, we had to stay a bit closer to home for obvious reasons. We found a great cabin in the mountains past Suncadia to spend a week.

The Gossett's and Russell's joined us for a couple of nights and the Stewarts will be joining us tomorrow. We are lucky to have such great friends to join us for some snowy fun.

Here are some random pictures showing the fun we have already had.

Chris and Oli enjoying an icy sledding hill.
Natalie and Chris doing the same...

A family photo...including the BIG bump!

The Russell's not enjoying the hill as much...

Scout is LOVING his time away with us. While he loves his time in sunny California, he does love being in the snow. His puppy-ness comes back!

Peyton is one precious guy...it was a pleasure to spend more time with him. And boy does he like Scout! It was very touching to see how much Oli played with Peyton and showed him how to brush his teeth, make a bed, read a story....

Ice Skating in Suncadia...

A sunny day on the mountain...

Brett is holding on to some kid...I think it is Oli but who's to tell with all that gear on!

And here they come down the mountain....Oli did his first 2 blue runs yesterday. He is really catching on!
