Old Friends and New Faces

Max has a dear friend Peter Chase that he has been friends with for a very long time.   Max and Peter went to school together at MacArthur Elementary School in Fort Leavenworth and have kept in touch ever since. Peter recently emailed Max and said that he and his family were coming to the mountains for a week long ski vacation.  He wanted to get togehter for a while in Denver so that he could catch up with Max and introduce us to his daughter, Alice.  


Isn't she the cutest! We spent a few hours talking and catching up with the Chase family and watching the babies play on the floor.  I was very impressed with little Miss Alice.  She was so happy and content!! She played on the floor quietly insepcting every new toy and never made a peep.  Meanwhile, Chance ran laps around the house and babbled constantly.

We had so much fun visiting and catching up with Jenny and Peter that we decided to meet up with them in Avon at the end of the week and do it again. 

The following Friday we both snuck out of work a little early so that we could meet the Chase family in the mountains for dinner. 

The following day we all met up on the mountain at Beaver Creek.  Scott Seglie was also visiting from Atlanta and Jerad was in town from Wyoming.  It was an amazing day!

We headed in from skiing early becasue we needed to get cleaned up for Lauren's birthday dinner.  We made reservations at E-Town in Edwards because we knew we were going to have a big group (and I not so secretly didn't want to be a party pooper but I knew Chance had already had a big day and I wanted to get in and out of dinner quickly).
 
I love the vibe at E-Town.  Their food is always so spot on!

Scott Seglie showed up right around the end of dinner and completely loved playing with Chance.  I am very grateful that Chance has so many positive amazing people in his life.  I guess Max and I are lucky in that way too!
Thanks to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to come and visit! We are loving every minute of it.
