My First Ski Trip!!

Look!  It's me, mommy, and daddy on the slopes.  I loved skiing and was pretty good at it too!

So we went right during my nap time so I was a little cranky at times - but I got over it!

I got to ride the bus (aka no car seat - woohoo!)

Daddy helped me get around a bit.  He sure can glide around swiftly!

Here I am - skiing!!!

 Cousin Soren loved wearing ski goggles!  He was super cute in them!

Here are the Varda's all skiing together - 3 generations!  What a sporty family!

By the end of the day - I was crashed...couldn't even keep my eyes open. Thankfully Papa Tu was there to snuggle with me.  

Here is the evidence!  It was a great day - I want more POWDER

Christmas 2010 - and a Varda Family Visit

They barely fit, but we got all the stockings up.  Even Daisy fit into the scene!  It was a busy busy holiday!

Believe it or not, we almost got all the cousins in the bath together.  We are just missing Danika in this picture.

Christmas was SO busy, I got tired fast!

Aunt Kate was our Christmas cheer - always a smile and fun with her!

Soren and I sat together on the back porch - making funny faces!

I got to open lots of presents - I'll be able to do this puzzzle one of these days!

Crocs and a blue shiny dress - PERFECT!

You should have seen this present-opening extravaganza!  Wowzers!

Borrowed Earrings...so pretty!

Out Little Cowgirl, This Year's Stockshow

Boots, horse purse, pink button down - yeehaw!

Daddy helped me make my way around the rodeo.

So no one would let me ride a horse (I did make it on a tractor) so I had to make due  with my bike. Girls got balance!

Friends! Big, small, furry...

O, Those Eyes (and Hair!)

Cousin Love!

Daddy's December Fishing Trip to Northern California!

I am so proud of my daddy!  Look how big the fish are that he caught.  He is teaching me to fly fish and we're going to go on special trips together when I'm older.



My Fall With Kerry!

Kerry tried to convince me that sitting in the leaves would makes a great picture - I wasn't convinced.  But she was right!

Daidy and I hang out on the window seat in her front room - where all the sun comes in.

Ben is teaching me to play the guitar - we are both naturals.

Let the guys have their beers - I just want this chocoloate covered pretzel!

Growing up to be a Beauty!

Witchy O

I was the best little witch on the block for Halloween.  Mama was also a witch and daddy was a funny hillbilly guy.  I loved his teeth and wore them when we went trick or treating in Old Town Arvada.  Later, I went house to house with mama and we made it to about 12 houses!  I would say "Trick Teat" to the people, they would give me a candy and I would say "dank u".  It was so fun!



 Mama was not as much a fan of the teeth as I was!

Here I am at my cousin Cades' Halloween/Birthday party.  Sunglasses totally go with a witch's outfit!

I love carving and this whole pumpkin thing was awesome.  Mine had ears!

End of the night - take it all off and have a dance party!
