Now that the holidays are behind us we’re diligently focused on ski season. We had such a lovely holiday season, though it felt a little different this year. The lead-up to Christmas felt so long this year. This is due, mostly, I think, to the wildly early start to winter. We’ve had snow covering the …

Kicking off The Holidays 2021
It’s undeniably one of my favorite times of the year right now – this sweet spot between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We’re doing all the things and getting *so* excited for Santa. Our Thanksgiving was lovely. It was very quiet – just the four of us – but we had a really great day. The kids …
Christmas 2020
As with much of the rest of the world, our Christmas was a bit quiet and low-key. Despite not being together in person with family or friends, our holiday was very, very special. Ben and Hannah are at such a fun age for all of the holiday hoopla and were really into everything Christmas-related this …
First Holiday Season at The Lodge
This holiday season was extra special for us. We’re hoping to spend every Thanksgiving and Christmas at The Lodge from here until eternity and our inaugural year didn’t disappoint.

This year was our tenth year of doing this! Ben got really into cookie baking with me this year. We had so …
Christmas 2018
This holiday season was extra special. We made so many memories and had new experiences, started new traditions and enjoyed time as a family. Alex’s family flew out from Illinois to join us for Christmas at Suncadia Resort in the heart of the Cascade Mountains. We rented a beautiful house tucked into the snow-covered evergreens …
Tis the Season!
We’ve been busy decking our halls, waiting patiently for Santa and decorating cookies and gingerbread houses galore. The Christmas season is SO much fun with a two year old who is just now at the age where he can truly grasp the concept and all of the activities that come along with. The holiday season …
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween from my little Cubbies! I’ll post more photos after trick or treating tonight.
Holiday Baking!
I consider myself to be more a chef than a baker at any point during the year. Recipes are not really my friend and I don’t normally have the patience for baking. The exception is during the holidays! I’m known to bake anywhere from 10-20 dozen cookies during the holiday season and this year is …
