Prom on her 4th birthday

Does this look like a prom picture or WHAT???

Margaret's 4th Birthday

Is any birthday party complete without a "hello kitty/shamrock" cake!? This was her request, specially for the cake...I think it turned out really well :)

The Hello Kitty pinata (sensing a theme here?) We had such a good time with the pinata, the cake and the good group of friends we had join in our celebration. How very, very lucky we all are!!

Opening her gifts...she was thrilled to get a good supply of "Hello Kitty" make-up...Her parents were slightly less thrilled...

Margaret hanging with the boys...she will be well protected as she grows up -- this makes her parents very, VERY happy!

Easter 2008

Margaret enjoying the bounce house...

John bouncing away...although he and his sister both continuously checked to make sure we were watching...

A girl on a mission...

Mommy and her sweet children. Happy Easter!

Innagural Family Ski Trip - 2008

John and Daddy going up the magic carpet. John LOVED this thing!!

Margaret's choice of how to get down the bunny slope - she wasn't as big a fan of skiing her way down!

John skiing from Granddaddy to Mommy....

Hooray!!! You DID it :)

On the bus from the airport to Steamboat...

Here we are!!! We've arrived in Steamboat at last!

Margaret at the top of the snow tunnel - her favorite part of the trip!

John learning the feeling of skis on snow....he had a ball!

John enjoying the skiing with Grandma and Graddaddy

My little "Spyder" up the magic carpet...

At the top of the hill....

With a little help from his friends...(thanks, Daddy!)

This picture scares me. Everytime I look at it, I see an attitude that will only get "better" with age...I think this must be her "I'm a supermodel" pose!

Snowball fight at night with Daddy!

The Birthday Girl - an ice cream sundae to celebrate the big number 4

Chilling out in the sled - this was great fun for both of them! Hey, who wouldn't love being pulled around on a sled by your grandparents!

Margaret finally agreeing to put on her skiis and ski to Grandma. Now, if you ask her about her ski vacation she will tell you "I skiied to Grandma!!" YAY!

Nothing like being knee deep in snow. And I love the look on John's face - a mix of confusion and pure annoyance because he can't run as fast in the deeper snow.

Granddaddy skiing with John. The two of them had such a great time! It was a joy to get to see them enjoying such a fun sport together!

After a day of skiing...Enjoying a few moments at the Slopeside Grill

The innagural family skiing photo. Notice all 4 of us on skiis -- if you only knew what a challenge that was for Margaret!!

A photo op on our balcony

My "cheesy" children - but they're still cute :)

A Little bit Cowboy...

My little Montgomery Gentry...Let's hope he's got the voice to go with the look!
