A great trip

Jerrod and I returned home Thursday night from 4 wonderful days of skiing in Aspen, Colorado. I will briefly describe our trip, but words can not do justice to how beautiful and exhilerating it is when you get off the ski lift and see these majestic mountains, so here are some pictures. I feel like a bad mom, because I didn't miss John as much as I thought I would. We were very fortunate that we got back. Our flight was one of the first out of Aspen in two days because of the blizzard. If we would have had a flight to Denver we would not have been home till Christmas or later. I felt really bad for those people who had to spend days in the Denver airport. If you like to ski and you haven't been to Aspen, you've got to go! The snow is incredible and the downtown area is very nice especially with the Christmas lights and the snow. It was a winter wonderland. It was a trip I will never forget. Thanks Jerrod for the great birthday and Christmas gift.

Better late than never

John's second birthday was Saturday, December 2nd, but I've been a little tired the last week or so because a certain little boy has been climbing out of his crib and has been wide away for hours in the middle of the night, so I am just getting around to posting about his party. We had an Elmo/Sesame Street themed birthday party, and John did a great job opening his presents. He was very excited about all of them and has enjoyed playing with them too. He was most excited about the tricycle Jerrod and I got him. In the morning he would point and say very excitedly "Tricycle, tricycle!" When we would leave for school he would say "bye bye tricycle". He also, to my surprise, ate cake (maybe because it was an Elmo cake). The party was a lot of fun. I still can't believe he's two. So I have a crazy busy week. Jerrod and I leave on Saturday for our ski trip to Aspen, and my to do list seems never ending. I am so excited, this time next week, I'll be enjoying the beautiful Rocky Mountains!
