We love Crested Butte

The boys are planning and talking boy talk.

This is the view outside our condo back door.

We went into town to have dinner and do some exploring.

These two are ready to head to ski school!

Have a fun day guys!

Gary and I hit the slopes and then we had to rest for lunch.

Ahh the views are simply breath-taking.

We ate pizza and salad for dinner and it was wonderful.

Our buddy brought his leg compression machine and we all took turns at night to help fight the soreness.  It was so fun and of course Hayden had to try it out!

Day 2

All ready to roll.

We love skiing!

Go Panthers!

We supported our Midway Panthers and went to the State football game in Arlington.

15-0!!!  What a wonderful year of football it has been!

We knew the kids would have a fun time and so did we.  I just love staring at that huge TV!

We didn't win the game, but it was a wonderful season and I'm so thankful to be a part of a great school district.  We love our schools! 

Woohoo for Christmas break!

The kiddos are so thrilled for break!  No school until 2018!

They decided to try on their ski gear again since we will be skiing after Christmas!

Ho Ho Ho!!

Today was the last day of school and Christmas break is in full swing!  The weather was wonderful outside and so these two silly heads were outside being goofy.  Guess who had her camera handy to snap a few pics?  Their mother of course!!!!

Who needs to mail out Christmas cards when your momma takes pics and posts them EVERY.SINGLE.DAY?

My guy needs a haircut and so that is on the list for tomorrow, but goodness I love these two!

Layla is so flexible...Am I right?

 We can't believe our first Christmas living back in Texas is finally here!!

Ugly Sweater fun!

We got all dressed up in our ugly sweaters and ugly socks and headed to celebrate the season with friends!

Selfie stick fun y'all!  Lily stuck her tongue in my FACE!  And Daisy is not a happy camper!

My hot date, as you can see, is Cousin Eddie!

My little Kate!

Layla really worked hard on our Santa hat dessert.  It was a fun pinterest idea and they tasted amazing!

I sure do love my little creative chef!  She's great in the kitchen.

This is sadly the only picture I took of our night with friends.  I was just having too much fun and isn't that Sangria gorgeous?  Honestly my new girlfriends aren't that into social media and they don't even have Instagram.  What?  It's all good, but maybe I can talk them into joining! ;)  I really am doing a good job putting my phone away lately though.  I'm trying to be more present this holiday season.  It's hard for me to not take a million pictures!!

Christmas Break starts NOW!

We are starting off the Christmas break with a bang!

I have to be honest.  I was terrified of the Chipmunk movie, but it was my favorite one yet!

We are excited to turn off our early morning alarm clocks and enjoy some Christmas activities.  Tomorrow night we are busting out our ugly sweaters and joining friends to celebrate the season.  We keep praying for Me Maw, but we know she would want us to have some fun for her!

Merry Merry!

Christmas break is in full swing!!

Today was the last day of school until 2015!  The kiddos were so excited this morning when I dropped them off.  I'm pretty sure their days were full of playing and watching movies.

This evening they were jumping for JOY!  Wooo hooo!  Christmas time is always fun.  I love how you can't even see Layla....she's an excited blurr!  

cleaning up and hoping the germs go away!

I am finally feeling better.  Every passing day the sickie germs are leaving my body.  Today I felt good enough to put the Christmas decorations away.  I still need to vacuum and get the house feeling totally clean, but I am taking lots of breaks.  I don't want to do too much and feel yucky again.  I hate being sick and can't wait to feel 100% like myself again.

I am feeling so sentimental today.  I'm loving being home with these two babes while they are on Christmas break.  I'm thankful I get to be a stay at home mom so I can enjoy these snowy, cold days at home.  If I worked away from home I have no idea who would keep these little munchkins.  Thankfully I get to be here!  Gary likes it too!  I think he likes dinner hot and ready when he gets home from work.  And on that note I am heading into the kitchen to make banana bread and start dinner.
