Milestone: Chair Lift

Last weekend while we were in Aspen with Buddy and Pooh Bah, Cora took her first ski lift ride with Dad. She liked it so much she did it three times! I'm so proud! 

Cora's also been busy painting and learning her letters and numbers at school, playing with Kai, "helping" mommy with Kai, playing with friends, doing gymnastics and riding her bike. Whew! She still has endless energy so any activity is quite a blessing.  

Below are a few photos of us just doing our thing over the last month or so. These long, but special days are zooming by ....





Skiing with Dad!




Morning snuggles.

Teaching Cora that getting bruises while playing is really, really cool.

Picking Cora up from school.

Art projects with Nana!



Gymnastics! 


We try to get together with Kathryn and Erin and their kids a few times a month. Here we are terrorizing some restaurant. 


Nat was out of town for my birthday so we spent it in Fort Collins with Nana and Papa and it was lovely!





It's been crazy warm here so we've been able to ride bikes a lot!

Loving Daddy.




Love my little dare devil!

Christmas and skiing!

A very magical Christmas!
We couldn't have asked for a more magical white Christmas in Idaho. Marisa and Mike and Nana and Papa also joined us and it was truly a wonderful time. Cora sledded, built snowmen, skied on Dollar, played with friends and was spoiled with Christmas gifts. No one wanted to leave!

Back in Colorado, Cora has been busy with school three afternoons a week, swimming lessons and gymnastics! She is super busy, but it's good and helps harness some of her endless energy. On the weekends we've been skiing up at Loveland and Cora is getting better everyday. She is still skiing on the magic carpet until she masters stopping and turning. I think by the end of the season she will be zipping around!


Santa was very generous this year!


Idaho sledding!
