Snowmass

April 5, 2023

We flew out to Aspen for spring break last week and spent 4 days zooming down the slopes of Snowmass! It was an awesome trip!! Best weather, best company, best time!

We landed and quickly realized we weren’t in Birmingham anymore when the 20 degree temp hit our face!

Our room wasn’t quite ready so we got some pizza and checked out the cute village.

Look at that icicle!

That afternoon we got all of our skis and gear and took it easy with room service. I love vacation! The next morning we bundled up to hit the slopes – the high for the day was 14!!

We got an instructor to go out with us the first day and that was a great call. He helped everyone get their ski legs back and showed up some good runs to take and gave us good tips for how to navigate the area.

It was SO SO SO cold but the snow was great! We handled it just fine…as long as the sun was shining! Nothing a little mid-morning hot chocolate break won’t fix!

The kids got right back into skiing and I was so impressed. We were all glad to have Patrick leading the way the first day.

When we got back, we braved the 11 degree temperature in our robe to get in the hot tub! Delightful!

Father Daughter dance

February 15, 2023

Like last year, Samantha and Robert got all dressed up and put on their best dancing shoes to boogie the night away at MBC! Samantha looked adorable as always in her new rainbow dress and gold accessories…

Robert looked dapper (even if Samantha was wishing he had on something with a little more pizzaz! ha!). They made quite a cute, dimpled duo!

“Robert” got her a flower corsage and they thought it was pretty funny posing with it…

Naples

January 17, 2023

After Christmas we headed down to Naples for some rest, relaxation and sunshine! Despite a delayed flight out of Bham, we made it to Ft. Myers with no problems mainly thanks to a full speed sprint through the Atlanta airport! Phew! The kids were happy to get to open some more Christmas gifts…especially when those gifts consisted of cleverly wrapped cold hard cash!

We didn’t get to to go to the beach while we were down there. It’s still being put back together after the hurricane, but that didn’t bother us!
