MacNair Ski visit

Just as we were about of over our first round of the dreaded winter cold Tim's family arrived. Thankfully for them we were just about over it -which hopefully meant they were not going to get it. Don't worry they actually did not get sick. The boys loved have family around and thankfully Maddie was wonderful reading with them, playing superhero's, coloring, building Lego's, and doing anything the boys could think of.

Ava also loved the company. You have to be a little careful and cautious around little miss grabby hands. If you get too close there is a high chance she might pinch and pull. Ava also enjoyed her first time sitting in a high chair at the restaurant. She spent most of the time trying to steal Nana's plate, drink. and placemat. 

Of course we had to get in some skiing. The boys loved going all together as a family. 


As you can see Ian has no fear....still! Just like his dad he wants to find the best powder and zoom through the trees. Thankfully it was really steep here so I was glad to see that he slowed down a little.

Ian also likes to ski backwards like his dad. Aaron loves skiing and is doing great with his turns (when he feels like it). I think skiing has become he favorite activity -as long as it is accompanied with chocolate milk. 

Cousin Maddie showing the kids what not to do with their ski poles. I can't believe Maddie's arms did not get tired! Sweet Maddie was so excited to be skiing I think every video and picture she is excitingly waving her ski poles in the air :)

Of course after a little while the lodge does get kind of boring. So when Aaron would take a break we would do our best to keep entertained. Aaron and I had fun sending funny picture messages back and forth to my family. This one was my favorite!


When we weren't skiing we usually lounged around the house and relaxed. With the occasional movie night! Tim took this panorama of us all watching a movie. It is quite possible that Jim is actually asleep sitting up :)



A few times we headed into town. The kids spotted the carousel and had to ride. Even sweet Ava loved the carousel!


We had a great time and can't believe how fast time flew by.

 We are looking forward to seeing them in June and finally getting to meet our little niece Charlotte! I can only imagine how much fun these two girls will have together! I am sure they will just look at each other and giggle like sweet babies do :)
