Beaver Creek, Colorado

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our trip to Beaver Creek, Colorado. I've never seen so much snow in my life, and nothing could prepare us for how beautiful it is there. Here are some pictures of the highlights of our trip...

The view from our room was breath-taking...Here's what it looked like without Molly standing in front of it...There were huge statues of animals all throughout the village...Here's Miss Priss patiently waiting for her turn to tube down Haymaker Hill...She was saying "Spin me FAST!"...My favorite picture from the entire trip...Here we are getting ready to go ice-skating in the center of the village...Molly & Eric are ready to snow-mobile...this turned out to be our favorite part of the entire trip!Jacey & me...Shannon in his "Nascar"uniform...The whole gang about half way up to the summit...Sorry, Shannon...I couldn't help but post the picture of you getting stuck....Here's Jacey showing how deep the fresh snow is...We stopped at the summit (about 11,000 feet) & went in this little log cabin for some hot chocolate & apple cider...

And to warm up by the roaring fire...Can you guess the name of this mountain? Just read the slopes...S...K...Y!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow...

Just when we get everything together to take a trip to Colorado so that Molly can see some snow...

We got a few inches here in south Georgia!

Who would have ever guessed that we'd see this much snow over the weekend!

It was so beautiful & definitely has us geared up for our upcoming trip.

Because it gave us a small preview of just how much Molly enjoys playing in the snow!

The Countdown Is On...

...only 3 more days before Molly visit's Dr. Hodge's again for x-rays & hopefully to get her boot off. ...only 5 more days before Valentine's Day. ...only 9 more days before we leave for Colorado...woo-hoo! ...only 21 more days before the guys leave for Argentina. ...only 28 more days before Eric & I leave for Washington, D.C. ...only 30 more days before Mo's first beauty pageant. Wow, the next month is going to be BUSY!

We've Graduated!

Well, we've graduated out of the hot pink cast into a post-op boot/leg brace for Molly's broken toe. However, she and I both liked the cast a lot better. The boot has been a pain in the neck...or foot in this case! And, finally, we have everything set for our Colorado trip. Lodging, flights and car rental have all been reserved & we're getting really excited about it. The only thing left now is for Molly's foot to heal so she'll be able to run & play when we get there. Tomorrow, we're heading over to Pulaski to find Molly a dress for her very first beauty pageant. She's decided that she wants to participate in her school pageant this year & I think it will be a lot of fun. But, unfortunately, I will not be here to watch her that night. Eric & I will be in Washington, DC for a Young Farmer convention that entire week. I'm a little (actually a LOT) bummed out that I'm going to miss her first pageant, but I know she'll be in good hands. And, I'll be cheering her on...all the way from D.C.!
