First Time Skiing!!

First time for Mommy and Brooklyn to ever go skiing!! By the end of the day, Brooklyn was riding the chair lift and going down the big hills with Daddy and Tyler (while Mommy was enjoying the comforts of the lodge)!!

The biggest wipeout if the day goes to Daddy. The expert skiing award goes to Tyler for successfully navigating 2 black diamonds! Go team VG!

Happy Birthday Brooklyn!!

Mexican dinner, Dairy Queen, princess nightgowns and big kid mouthwash!!! What could be better than that?!? (Other than a custom made bedding set for Isabelle.... Thanks Grandma!!)

No Tears!!

After 5 years of tears, B made it through the Birthday song at her favorite Mexican restaurant!!

Brooklyn has received a number of "love pictures" from a boy in her class. The latest includes hand holding. Not so sure about this! :)
