The Winter House

This weekend we were invited to spend the evening with Mark's family at his aunt and uncle's ski house.  This house is AMAZING!!  It is a gorgeous home set in a perfect spot in "ski country".  Claire refers to it as the "Winter House".  The whole family met up there to ski, relax, catch up, and spend the night.  Needless to say, we had a great time!!

This is the view from their family room.  Those are the "slopes".  It is absolutely gorgeous!

Besides the place being gorgeous, it was so great to get the family together.  The kids had a blast playing together.

But the "big kids" (apparently I am loving the quotes today) had the most fun being crazy :)

While the big kids did big kid stuff, Oliver hung out with Grandpa.

Could Oliver be any cuter?!

The girls had fun getting dinner ready.

And drinking some wine :)

Everyone brought a dish to pass and everything was DELICIOUS!

After dinner Erin and I decided to take advantage of those big jacuzzi tubs!  We threw on the kids bathing suits and let them GO TO TOWN!

 As you can see, they had a blast!

I kinda wish I was in there with them!

Two squeaky clean big kids.

After we got the kids nice and clean it was THEN decided to bring out the cake for Grandpa's birthday.

And some doritos.  Hey, anything goes at the winter house.

The rest of the night was spent playing games and chatting.  It was really a great time.  It would have been even better if Oliver did not wake up everytime anyone laughed.  I have a feeling he is NOT going to want to miss a trick.  Claire on the other hand, slept like an angel all night long.

Owen and Claire played so hard that Owen had to sneak in a quick morning nap after breakfast.

And Oliver was so beat from his multiple attempts to join the party the night before that we just put him in his carseat to nap while we packed everything up.

THANK YOU SO MUCH BRYAN AND IRENE!!  WE HAD A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
