December in Fast Motion

December has flown by!

The return of winter has made everyone happy...and busy!

Got my "Children's Specialist 2" education this year!

While I was at Mammoth getting more training under my belt, Eric and Kenzo visited Santa at the annual Tahoma party.

I've been busy training the new hired instructors from Squaw and Alpine....a great group of kids with tons of enthusiasm and excitement for the upcoming season.

Kenzo loves his baths.

Our annual gingerbread house - done!

Beautiful afternoon at work.

We joined up with the Dietz, Hyams, and Hunt families for some tree hunting. 

It was DUMPING out and the kids were all having a blast in the new snow.

Chaney getting a bit ambitious with this one...

Ellis pulling Keelan and Kenzo.... he then proceeded to throw them into the fresh snow over and over - awesome!

Snow bunnies, Robyn, Kelly & me.

Ended with some great sledding right down the street! 

Buddies in the hot tub.

After-school ski date with my cutie patootie.

Ah, life of a Tahoe kid!

At Squaw.

And then...

The London buddies are in town! We met everyone for a introductory ski date...they all did so well!

Kenzo and Max.

Are all goddaughters this cute, funny and sweet or are we just lucky?
