We had another wonderful family ski trip this year in Breckenridge, CO. The weather was perfect with a little spring skiing for me and Shelley and a little winter wonderland for my mom. Thanks to our wonderful babysitter, Rachel, we were able to go as an entire family of 5. This was Ely's 3rd year of skiing and did awesome. Two days of ski school and one full day on the slopes with me and Al. He has learned so much. It cracks me up how cautious he is on the slopes. He isn't one of those kids who go straight down the mountain out of control. He loves his S curves and prefers to be following either me or my mom. Molly and Luke had a great time playing with Rachel during the day and with Katie and Anna Beth in the evenings.
This year was my best year of skiing in a long, long time. The weight that I had lost in the summer and the working out I have been doing made a huge difference in my skiing. I was ready to hit the slopes on day 1 and really didn't get tired or sore on the entire trip. What a difference 23 pounds and some working out makes!
Mom, once again, rented an awesome house where 2 families, a Grammy and babysitter could be comfortable. It was even equipped with 2 arcade games! I love that our family has this tradition and can't wait until next year when the Hills join us again. Crazy to think that we could have 10 grandkids on the next trip!

| This my "couples picture" with my brother in law, Drew! We were the only two ready to tackles some blacks so we did a few runs together on the 2nd day! I am pretty sure the t-lift was the biggest challenge of the day for both of us! |
