Ski trip!

Happy Thanksgiving! We are enjoying a night at home after unpacking from a wonderful trip to the mountains. We spent Thanksgiving day at home, with store-bought turkey and homemade sides. Jack had a good time helping us make everything in the kitchen. He didn't enjoy the green beans very much, but he has been happily eating them the past few days when we promise pumpkin pie afterward. (Yes, sometimes we bribe our child with dessert.)

Jeff had to work on Friday, but when he got off, we hit the road for Keystone. We had been talking about taking Jack for a weekend in the mountains and figured this was as good of a time as any. The snow was not so good and there weren't that many runs open, but for Jeff it was great to enjoy a sunny day and a good workout. We took Jack on the gondola up to the top for lunch, which was so much fun. He was in awe the whole time, not really talking much. He seemed to be taking the whole thing in. We saw lots of kids on skis that weren't much bigger than him, so we're thinking that by the time he turns 3 in March, he might be ready for a run or two with Jeff.

 
 
 


All in all, a great Thanksgiving weekend! We are thankful for so much--the healthy baby on the way, the healthy, happy, and growing boy we already have, the time we get to spend together as a family, the roof over our heads, and the food that fills our cupboards. We hope that your Thanksgivings were filled with good food, good company, and lots of love and laughter.
