We always head up to Utah for President’s Day weekend, but most often, we don’t get tons of snow.  My did the tables turn this year!  We had so much snow it was insane!  It was so pretty and so fun, but we were nervous to have Pippi ski for her first time ever on a cold snowy day.  Well…the god’s were smiling down on us, because we went to Sundance and had the most incredible weather you can imagine!

It was sunny, the snow was fresh and groomed, and everyone had a great day of skiing - especially Pippi!  Her first run was a bit rough, but then we headed to the bunny slope (should have started there), and she went up and down a dozen times…and loved it!

Then she braved the slopes with Micah and the others, and he got great footage of her really skiing!

Of course the favorite part was freezing candy.  Navy tried M&M’s because of her jaw widener not letting her have a Snickers.  She said she prefers Snickers!
THe worst part of the day, was when I looked up and saw Navy by herself on a chair lift.  Then I looked at the next chair to see Dash by himself!  How on EARTH did they let him go alone???  He didn’t have the bar to protect him, he was half way off the seat, he was scooting around as I watched him, and he is prone to accidents.  As a mom who doesn’t freak out very often, I was kind of freaking out.  It wasn’t until I saw him come down that I felt okay again.
At the end of our skiing, we packed up and picked up Papa for dinner.  Then Ka begged for the kids to have a sleepover, so she took everyone but Scout to her little college apartment to have a movie night!

The next day, we all met up in Draper so Ka could take Scout to the temple for his first time.

The rest of the time, we spent a lot of time at Bella’s house just having a good time hanging with cousins.  It is actually the funnest trip!  Full of relaxing and fun — the two best things!

Our final day brought a huge snow storm, so we geared up to go sledding!  We found the best hill, had the perfect sleds, and had a good two hours straight of perfect fun.
