in colorado we...

 rode in a two horse open sleigh

 made snow angels

 skied with the fam

 robbed a bank...kidding! we rode in a gondola

hung out with honest abe

and marveled in nature's beauty.

also, not pictured above, we: 

• drank loads of hot chocolate (with various delicious liqueurs)
• watched a shameful amount of football
• got lost on what we dubbed "the trail of tears" (while we were skiing, if that tells you anything)
• watched my nieces in the cutest of cute ski lessons
• missed roxy to pieces (how could we not?!)

so that's that! we had such an amazing time in steamboat...probably my favorite trip to the mountains ever. a lot of family bonding, eating too much, and pushing our physical limits too far :) who could ask for more?!
