We made our second straight new year's trip to Suncadia. 5 days / 4 nights in the snow with the Kruse, Leptich, and Pund families...below are some of the great memories from New Years 2012!
Oliver helping pack up the car for the adventure!
The boys catching up on some current worldly event...or maybe Cars...
They did other things inside, like play games. Here is Gavin, Oliver and Cam playing Hi Ho Cherry-O
The kids digging in during the gift exchange
Oliver, Hayden, and Gavin on the couch watching something..
I promise that they weren't plugged in the whole weekend

There was a cool little sledding hill that we found out back of the house that we rented. Here is Oliver and Gavin speeding down the hill
Not all smiles when you fall face first into the snow
Oliver also trying out snowshoes for the first time
Yup - they are a bit trickier
Ruby and Mommy out for a stroll in the snow
Are you sure it's not a KEEN ad for winter boots
Watching brother and the other boys slide down the slide
Ian, Tom, and I took the boys up skiing only to find that the Magic Carpet was closed. Thus...
We became the magic carpets and hiked up the hill with the boys on our backs
Oliver, Gavin, and Cam posing for the camera all proud of their ski gear

All smiles rolling down the hill. Best quote on the ski trip when coming down the hill - "Migs on my right, Migs on my left"...someones been watching a little Top Gun with
Grandpa Jim
One evening we took a night walk with glow sticks and finger lights
The kids had so much fun with all the crazy colors
All lined up the next morning ready for the tubing hill

and then it was time to go outside and hit the pots and pans...if it's 9pm PST...It's midnight on the East Coast - close enough
We also made it to the pool 3 times on the trip. Here's a great pic of Kelly and Oliver all smiles
Now we have nice focus on a smiling Ruby
