New Year....New Dog!

We have a new addition to our family. Welcome 2 year old Golden Retriever "Julia!" (We are still deciding if we are going to change her name.) Dave and I have been wanting another dog for a while, but it has never been the right timing. We are happy to welcome her into our home!

Julia and Sable (BFFs)

Sable has perked up with Julia around! It's fun to see her playful again.

Christmas Vacation Part II - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

After we were in Colorado, we flew over to Milwaukee to spend Christmas with Dave's brother Keith and his family. We were so busy visiting with Aunts and Uncles, celebrating Christmas Eve and Christmas, Baptising our new niece, and celebrating David's 3oth Birthday! What a great time!Uncle Dale, Sam, Savannah, and Dan relaxing by the pool.

Bathing beauties!

We spent Christmas Day with the Windis side of the family. We went to Carol and Tom's house and ate and visited with most of his Aunts and Uncles, cousins and Grandparents.

Santa and his elf even stopped by Carol's house! Great-Grandmother Mary "G.G." was on the the nice list this year.

Savannah was not too excited about Santa Claus.

Christmas Vacation Part I - Keystone, CO

We took an amazing family vacation to Keystone, Colorado. Dave and I enjoyed skiing the days away and taking Savannah in the snow. Dave says she has to learn skiing first before she is allowed to snowboard.
My little jailbirds!

Savannah loved the snow!

Christmas decorations are so much better in cold weather.

Savannah discovered pockets in her coat!

Hot Cocoa break.

We took a ride into Denver to visit my Uncle Randy and Aunt Fern. We had fun catching up!

Rudolph the red-nosed ice sculpture!

Ice skating on the lake at Keystone.

Riding in the Gondola up to the top for another fun day of skiing!

Keystone has night skiing, so Dave took these photos while he was hitting the slopes at dusk.

My cousin Danette joined us for a day on the mountain.
