Our "S Vacation"

Hello everyone! I thought I'd share some pictures from our Christmas week in Breckenridge. Gabi referred to it as our "s vacation -- snow, snowshoeing, skiing, swimming, santa, stockings, and scrumptious food!"

A QUICK family picture -- it was cold!!

Grandpa's prodigy -- she loved it when he played Jingle Bells!

We took Gabi skiing for the first time and SHE LOVED IT! She giggled the entire way down the hill, as you can see in the video. I can't wait to take her again!

Even Maya was taking notes about how to ski -- she's next! ;-)


We spent quite a bit of time at the lodge's swimming pool. It was Maya's 1st time swimming and she thought it was just great! She has always loved baths, so we knew she would!

Just Lounging

Santa did find us in Breckenridge!

Gabi received a cowgirl set-up --

hat, boots, and a stick pony. She immediately named her pony, "Buddy."

Joe received some "muck boots" for Christmas, a little bigger than the cowboy boots Gabi received, but still fun for her.

Our "s vacation" also added some big words to Gabi's vocabulary -- "cappuccino" and "delicious". If you know my parents, you will know why "cappuccino" is so fitting. And if your family ate like ours did that week, then "delicious" makes sense too! We had a great time with my parents and brother!

We spent New Years up in Buffalo, but unfortunately didn't take too many pictures, but we had a great time there as well!

Happy New Year!

Love, Joe, Tara, Gabi, & Maya
