snow babies!

It's so cold that we didn't spend New Year's Eve outside burning our Christmas tree this year, but made the most of the weather by skiing all New Year's Day! We went up to Mt. Peter (Warwick, NY) with our neighbors, and the kids had their first ski lesson. Who would have thought these beach bums would be such natural snow babies?!!

with neighbors Violet, Bella and Alex ~ all dressed and ready to go!

 fist time on the lift to go down a real slope!

 my true California boy - give him the beach, give him the mountain - he's a natural and adorable!!

 these kids were impressive! A short lesson, some runs down the bunny hill, and all 5 of us took to the slopes! So fun to play all together as a family!!!
