Ski Bums

We were lucky to have Matt's sister in town visiting us over Christmas. She arrived the Tuesday before Christmas and on Wednesday we packed up the car and headed to Stowe, VT for a fun little ski getaway. It was a BLAST - the kids had a great time skiing with Aunt Jill. They were so excited to show off their "skills". If you have never been, Stowe is a beautiful New England ski town with lots of quaint shops & restaurants. I wish I would have taken more pics of the town, etc but oh well, it gives us an excuse to go back again soon. :)

A side note: HGTV's Dream Home 2011 is in Stowe and I will be entering our names into the contest to win each & every day starting January 1st!!! Wish us luck! :)

Here are some pictures of our trip...and I think we have successfully turned Auntie Jill into a ski bum! :) Jack continues to amaze us with his fearless skiing - he even went down a run that Mommy would NEVER even attempt. ha! Thank goodness for Matt - pretty soon, the kids will be skiing with Daddy and leaving Mommy on the greens. ha! After a 2 hour lesson, Reagan was riding the chair lift and skiing down all by herself. Go girl!
