Ski Utah!

Friday night we left for our Christmas trip to Utah to spend the holidays with my parents and brother.  Grady was just getting over being sick, and we were hoping and praying Cole didn't come down with it on vacation... it was a much needed break!  It ended up being the best Christmas ever!  I have so many pictures to share, I am going to break it up into a couple of posts.  This one is just for our ski fun!

My dad got G a day of ski school this year, and Grady was pumped.  He has been watching the "big" kids in the Reindeer Club for a few years now having fun, and wanted to be a part of it.  We skied with him for about 30 minutes and then dropped him off.  That kid hadn't skied since last March and he picked up right where he left off!         

 

 The views were just breathtaking!  This was the only day it wasn't snowing and was so pretty!

 Proof that I skied too!

 Where I enjoyed the other part of my time... not bad.  

Lodge... fireplace... Kindle... hot chocolate... perfection!

This is Grady's report card.  I LOVE the second page... LOL!!!  The instructor figured him out in one day!  HA!

 

 

 It was super cold the second part of the week and we had to make a few clothing additions including a really cool shark helmet hat! 

My dad, Craig, Richard, Grady and I skied this year.  Mimi and Cole stayed home and snuggled.  We spend most days at Deer Valley and one day at The Canyons -- great skiing every day!  The only day we didn't ski was Christmas day!  G just couldn't get enough...

 Santa on the slopes!

Silly boy...

 Shark by day, ninja by night

 The most perfect background ever!

I love that our family can ski together.  We were laughing about putting Cole on skis next year... with a leash -- ha!  I actually think Mimi won't let us take him.  She seemed to really enjoy her one-on-one time with him every day!  Thanks Mimi!

Here is a video of Grady skiing.  My five year old can ski better than me... I'm a pretty proud Mommy!
