Silverstar...

What better way to celebrate Dad's birthday
than to share the long awaited Silverstar post...
My dad...
dedicated family man...
beyond-hard worker...
super giving...
love him like crazy!
 
Happy birthday Dad!! Looking forward to Canton's
tonight with the fam! :)
 
He is the one, sore knees and all, who heads out with me to
take my 'stubborn' (yeah I said that) daughter to try skiing...
picked the wrong time - late afternoon - well, lets say she went
about 20 feet, if that, but we got a picture!!
 
 
 
A pretty-much-annual family holiday for the last 18 years or so...
a much loved and enjoyed winter tradition!
 
The drive up...
*(some pics are iphone quality... dissapointing!!)


 Really wishing I took my 'real' camera to the evening of skating...
trying to please hubby and not be behind the lens on all family memories
but really not liking the quality of these pics much!!

Happy in the sun rays....

 
Skating.... much to Ranen's happiness we rented her a pair of skates!!

 






 
 Tubing... loved the pull up, coaxed down each run!


Fire... gotta love! 


 Able to sled right outside the house...

 
 Cutie-pie!
 

 



Another annual tradition... the family calendar!  We picked it up from the printer
(it runs Feb - Jan) the day before we headed out so I took them along
to give to everyone there...  always so fun to look through!
 
Mornings with cousins... doesnt get much better than that!

 Ring around the rosey with Corina... doesnt get much better than that!
(especially in Owen's opinion... a daily tradition for him here!)
 
 Cayden did amazing on the skis!!
 

 Gotta act like the big boys...
 
Cuddles with her Daddy....

Yahtzee! 

 sisterly love...
 

Phase 10!
 
 
 The drive home... Owen refused to fall asleep - until Ranen
held his hand and then he was out like a light!
 
Oh the joys, oh the memories...
wonderful times...
treasured! xo

  1. Thank you so much for always being the one behind the lens! We really appreciate it! Without you, the only memories we would have are the ones in out head (and they get forgotten way too easily)! Thanks for always being the one who volunteers to be the memory catcher! I really gotta get that pic of Dan and I from you.. Seems I'm a lil slack in the picture department because I NEVER take them!
    Thanks sis!
