Mom's Sixtieth!

We just returned home from Colorado after celebrating my mom's sixtieth birthday! I can't believe she is 60! She doesn't look it though and if she were to take Dr. Oz's true age test I am sure it would confirm she isn't a day over 35. We, her family, decided rather than a big party, which she isn't fond of, we would rent a house in Breckenridge and take her away for a couple of days. It was so much fun! I wish I had taken my camera out more to capture all of the fun things we did. I often find myself torn between experiencing the moment and capturing it. But here are a few shots, mostly of these sweet kids, of our time there.

We did crafts...


Macie is ALL girl! I love getting my "girl fix" with my sweet niece.


I love this racoon hat. No more crafts for him, Jay is ready to play in the snow!


Snow time it is!

Whenever possible, I must get these two hugging! They are so darn cute!!!

Hot Chocolate Time!!!

I love this shot of Macie.

Story time before nap time. Kat took this one...thanks Katherine!

Mom. I love her!

Bath Time!

Now it is time for cake! Jay helped make this gluten free cake for Granny.

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

Three days later we all celebrated Thanksgiving together. I think it is the best one I have celebrated in a long time! I love being around all of my family!
