Ski Princesses

we dropped the girls off for some skiing today. sarah and 2 of her friends had a group lesson already planned, so payton got to have a private lesson with the cutest little ski instructor, caitlyn. it was 10 degrees so kristi and i didn't stay too long!! we got a few good pics...

where was this escalator thingy last year when i went skiing???

how stinkin' cute are they???

Just hear those sleigh bells jinglin'...

can you believe that kristi said i looked like a terrorist?? look how cute i am with all of my different patterns!!!

i'm not sure about the part of that song that says, "It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you..." hmmmmm 16 degrees...lovely weather???? but, it was beautiful and fun!! did we go for hot chocolate afterwards...NO...we went to DQ, yes, DQ and had a blizzard!! :)

OOOPS....

we had a bit of trouble making a u-turn yesterday. come to find out a land rover won't go through 20 inches of snow!! :) thankfully a snow plow driver saw the whole thing and came to our rescue!!
