Skiing With Family

It has been 3 weeks of family.  Aunt Marcy, Uncle Stuart and cousins Lily and Jack came out over MLK weekend.  Lily took a couple ski lessons and is now a pro!  Jack got to hang with Casey at Casey's school.  And we all got to ski Keystone and Breckenridge.  The day we went to Breckenridge, Jack and Casey even got to ski and ride the magic carpet.  Uncle Stan got to ski with Lily and Stuart all day.  Casey also got into our hot tub for the first time with her cousins.  We also went tubing at Copper, but had to cut it short because of the cold and wind.  Still, another first for Casey.

Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom were the next visitors.  They arrived Jan 30th for the week.  Unfortunately, it was a cold week and Casey got the flu.  Nights and mornings were in the double digit negatives, warming up to single digits in the afternoons, however one day it didn't get past 0 degrees ever.  We did get 2 days of skiing at Keystone in and got to catch up on our movies and a new card game, Phase 10.

Aunt Kel came in Superbowl Sunday and stayed until Friday.  We got to ski everyday, including powder at the beginning of the week.  Casey was very excited, running down the stairs yelling, "My Aunt Kelly, My Aunt Kelly is here!!"  

The guests are gone so now it's up to us to entertain ourselves.  We went hiking today, McCollough's Gulch.  It's finally back up in the 30's!

Casey is potty trained.  She has to be coerced into pooping still, but doesn't have too many accidents anymore.  Every once in a while when she has friends over and is too busy playing, she has minor accidents, so we are still working on it.  And she still wears pull ups to bed.  But on a daily basis, Casey is wearing underwear!  

Late congrats to our friend Mark and Amy who had a little girl, Ella, on Jan 31.  And congrats to our friends Erica and Khristian who had their little girl, Kaia, yesterday (Feb 11).

Enjoy the pix.
