Family Ski Day!

We finally got all the kids up skiing! The kids said this was the best Christmas gift ever, and I have to agree. We all enjoyed our two days of skiing at Nordic Valley (such a great and affordable family ski area!) along with a night in a cute mountain AirBnB. Highlights of the trip included: 

Getting Hazel up skiing for the first time since she was 5. After a rough first run, she figured it out and loves it!  Also, she didn't (barely) didn't hit a tree - whew.

Seeing Conrad figure out skiing too. He was so cute going up the magic carpet and down the bunny hill time after time on his own. By the end of the day, he was doing great! Both he and Hazel will be ready for blue runs next time. 

Having Daddy join us! He snowboarded, but decided he'll ski next time. He says he's getting too old for snowboarding. It's only taken 17 years, but I've converted him! 

Watching Eliza help out. We had Walter with us so Michael and I were trading off on the mountain. Eliza was so great about taking Orson and Lenora, or Conrad with her. After a morning of helping those around her on the green runs, she and I slipped away for a few harder runs and had a blast. She's a great skiing buddy. 

Having Grandpa join us for the second day! 

Great views with all my favorite people. 

And for all of our entertainment on the way home, Walter brought his cutest faces.
