Snowmass Village

Here are some more pictures of our Snowmass vacation over Katarina's birthday weekend. We had a great time skiing with Christine, and again enjoyed beautifully fresh powder.

















The girls also enjoyed playtime with Lolo and Lola. They explored a mastodon exhibit to learn all about the mastodons and other ice age mammals found in Snowmass last year. The museum worker was impressed with Katarina's interest in (and ability to pronounce) "mastadon." Once he learned that one of her first words was "dino" he declared her a future paleontologist!

Merry Christmas

Our family, all dressed up for Christmas Mass

We let the girls open their new snow suits early so we could use them to play in the snow!

Bella decided to make a "snow bib angel" with her new snow pants and coat.

Getting a good family picture is difficult with three young children...

We took pictures in front of the nativity scene at church before Christmas Eve Mass.

Michael and these guys provided excellent music for Christmas Eve Mass.

Lolo Eddie, Lola Terry, Tita Christine, and our family all together after Mass

The girls love the joy (and chaos) of Christmas morning.

Gabi is our bookworm.

Tita Christine set up a "shooting range" for the kids to use Daddy's new rubber band gun.

Denver Zoo

Bella, Katarina, and I took Tita Christine to the Denver Zoo the week of Thanksgiving.

We had been to the zoo several times before as well.

Daddy and Gabi joined us on a zoo trip one weekend, too.

And one day, it was just Kati and me at the zoo.
