1st Ski Trip Photos

Below are the first set of ski pictures and video. The video is not the best, but it is still fun to watch. The video we took from a more recent ski trip is much better. I will post that in a few days.

Avery had so much fun skiing. She would go down the hill with papa and say, "more!". Her favorite part so far is riding the lifts.

Our next step is to get her to ski without us supporting her body weight! It leaves us with a sore back at the end of the day!


Getting ready to get on the magic carpet (ski lift).

Oops. Exposed belly. I'm sure that was a little cold!

Here we all are: papa, Avery, and mama.

Eating snow was also a big highlight.


Mama and Avery headed into the lodge to get warm.

A Random Selection of Christmas Vacation Pictures

Posted below are a few pictures and a video from our Christmas travels. I only selected a small portion to share with you. I'll try and post more of those later.
We have some great skiing pictures from the last few weekends that I will try and post sometime this week.
For now, enjoy the photos and video below!

Wow! We are so behind on posting pictures! We have a lot to share with you from our holiday vacation. We'll start with the ones before we left for the holidays. They are pictures of Avery after getting her fist haircut and of our dogs and Avery by our Christmas tree.
We hope you all had a fabulous holiday and new year! Enjoy the pictures below. There will be a lot more to come!

Though it is hard to tell in this photo,
Avery had just had her first haircut!


Avery put the crown on Jackson and he was
generous enough to keep it on. I made the
dogs sit and stay so I could get these pictures
and they were very good dogs. Avery was even
pounding on the cymbals and they were
tolerating it. They are good doggies!

Even Avery is standing still for me in this picture.
