We spent Thanksgiving at Snowmass Mountain in Aspen. Aunt Kel come into town to celebrate and to upgrade us to an amazing suite right on the mountain. Mark and Amy also joined us for the weekend. We hit the hot tubs in the mornings and the slopes in the afternoon and yummy turkey Thanksgiving night. Saturday, on the way back to Dillon, we stopped at the Glenwood Hot Springs. The kids had a blast in the huge hot pools. Casey is swimming underwater and is much more confident swimming around on her own.
Sunday, Casey sang with the children's choir at church. They performed at both services. She was really nervous on the way there, but when we got to church, she walked right into practice. She performed the first 2 songs great...big smile on her face, singing while looking around...
Then came song #3...looks closely...
The boy behind her threw up all over her back. She tried to hold in her tears, but then she saw her back. We went to the bathroom, cleaned it off, got her a cookie and she pulled it together and went back for the second service and sang all the songs no problem.
This past Monday, Casey got her Daisy Scout vest! All the girls were SO excited! So far, she has really enjoyed Daisy Scouts. She started out quiet and shy and now she plays along with all the girls.
We've been skiing a few times since we got good snow in November. Garrett enjoys his plastic skis, or at least puts up with them for a few minutes. Casey is great on her skis. She is very fast and can turn really well. We just need to work on her confidence some more. Garrett has been continuing his tumbling career every Thursday. He loves it and is really good at log roll and swinging on the bar. His favorite part of the obstacle course is the tunnel slide and of course, ball time. Casey takes tennis on Sundays. They have been working on front hand, back hand and volleying. Today they worked on moving toward the ball while hitting front hand.

Thursday night the kids got to visit with Santa Claus. Casey ran right up and jumped on his lap. Garrett was a bit more apprehensive, but he sat there wide eyed, looking around, but no tears.
