A new friend

 

Tia and I met this new friend on Saturday.  We don't know her name yet, but we will find out!  She's about 5 years old and she is SUPER friendly and loves to nuzzle and say hello -- she is so sweet and gentle.  I look forward to seeing her again soon.  

Second round

 

In height order.... Nick, Nat, Tia.  (Kira at the lodge. Judi behind the camera.)


Look at the view!  

T and me

Ski.

We made it to the top near Mary Jane

 

Judi is the short one (bending down).  Kira is the one back at the ski lodge.

Nick is the one taking the photo. 

Judi goes off trail

 

Yes, I nearly slid off the mountain.  Nick was very helpful as I'm sliding down... He was taking these pictures.  

Tia’s wish

 

Her skis are a little shorter.  

Ski!

Flight

 

Flying to the ski resort.

Air train

 

A little out of order... Here we are on the train at the airport heading for skiing.  We have many shots of the girls doing this (sitting in front and looking out).  It's a tradition.  

Lift

 

Skiing in Colorado!  Photo by Nick.  Kira sat this ride out. (Taken Wednesday #laterblog)

Christmas morning

The night before

 

The night before Christmas sister picture in PJs, and smiling so they can each open one present.

Stim

 

PT helping Kira's ankle recover.  (Back in November or December.)

Ice skating

 

More before Christmas with Nat and Tia ice skating.  Kira couldn't go because she was 1) recovering from a hurt ankle, and 2) she had Nutcracker.

Decorating

No, we're not decorating for 2018... I'm just behind schedule--2017 Holidays.

Jazz band concert

 

A couple weeks ago Nat's band played their jazz band concert at another high school in a really cool venue!  It was a stage with a dance floor and seating on 3 sides.  Cool lighting too!

That day before Christmas when we all wore red.

Bday

 

Here's a picture of me with my tea!

 

Contemplating my wish.

Thank you fam for a lovely day!

Birthday hike

 

At my favorite hiking spot.  Afterwards we got tea (or at least I did) and we sat on the Beach.  Lovely day with my favorite guy!

Walk!

 

Tia and I took a walk on Saturday -- for a while she battled for a Pokemon gym (pictured).  I kept walking in (large) circles.

Sweet 16 for Nat!

The cake is vegan, but the lettering is not.  So our bakery puts the letter on a plastic sheet to remove before eating the cake.
