Hello 2013!

We have kicked off 2013 with a bang...and lots of visitors and adventures!
 
On New Year's Eve, we played in the snow with our neighbors & their guests. 

Kenzo and Pressley enjoying some outside fun.  

The adults had cocktails in the afternoon, knowing we probably wouldn't make it to see midnight!   

Dinner at our house upon arrival after a Tsuruta/Iguchi road trip from LA.

Eric, Jordan, Julie, York, Lindsey, Caylee, Kelsey, Gabriel, Sophia & Kenzo - a packed house!

Me and my little ripper on the chair.

Gorgeous sunny blue skies at Alpine Meadows! 

On the magic carpet all by himself.

Please note the perfect stance. So proud.

A little hot chocolate break...
 












Taking down the GIANT Christmas tree, limb by limb.

Kenzo had a great time helping saw the branches. Safety first - hard hat ON!

A visit from our favorite Santa Cruz blondies!

Michelle, Ava & Maggie came up for a great winter visit.

Jammie time - Kenzo, Maggie (almost 6) and Ava (8 1/2).

We hit up Alpine Meadows three times and, needless to say, made these beach babies into mountain mammas!

The girls were in ski school one afternoon. Their "group" lesson for just Ava & Maggie - score!

Me and Michelle enjoying an afternoon of catching up and crusing the empty slopes - heavenly!!

 

One last ski session with all the wee ones. 

They are so dang cute all bundled up. And good thing because it was COLD!












  

Kenzo is progressing so quickly! We try to keep each session short and sweet, leaving him wanting more. So far so good. Oh, and we carry lots of M&M's to keep spirits up too!
