Birthday Fun!

We celebrated my birthday on Friday by taking the day off and skiing! Since moving to Colorado, I have learned to ski and really enjoy it. We typically are only able to go on Saturdays, so it is a treat to be able to go on a weekday. It was a great weekend!


On Friday we skiied at Vail. It was a really nice day, and we had a good time, but it was pretty crowded (as many of the ski resorts around here are). We spent Friday night in Avon, a mountain town about 10 miles from Vail.

On Saturday, we skiied at Beaver Creek and LOVED it! It is not as well known as Vail, but is really nice and was MUCH less crowded this weekend. Plus, a snowstorm had moved through over night, so there was nice fresh POWDER for us to ski in! We had a really great time on Saturday and are already looking forward to our next day at Beaver Creek!

Saturday started out cold and snowy but turned into a really nice day.

We stopped early on Saturday, because our legs were sooooo tired from skiing on Friday. We aren't really conditioned to skiing yet this season.

We had a professional picture taken on Saturday of ourselves, but we have not decided which one to purchase. Any suggestions?

So we are ready to host any of you skiiers out there! I asked Jason this weekend if he felt spoiled to live close to such great a great skiing and vacation destination. I truly love Colorado and feel so blessed to be here!

On Sunday night, I hosted a girls-only Oscar party. It was SO fun! We were suprised by some of the winners, and I cannot believe how long they drag the show out, but we had a great time together.

Hope you all have a great week. Thanks for the birthday wishes!
