Friends all over the floor


You may have heard Max or I talk lately about needing a garage with a studio apartment above.  All of this chatter about a garage is because we have had so many fun visitors over the winter months! We absolutely LOVE having people come and stay with us and we absolutely LOVE entertaining.  There is only one small problem...our house is small...very small! You can only get people to come and visit and stay for so long if all you have to offer is comforter and a single couch :(
Lucky for us Zach, Sara, and Liam Kittle didn't care about our small living quarters and they came for a long weekend visit anyway. 

It was so much fun wathcing Zach and Max play with Liam and Chance.  They boys played together so well.  Liam and Chance even had their first slumber party.  They had to share a room and they both did very well and slept all through the night. 

Liam loves playing with little power tools! So cute!

Zach and Sara had family in town so they headed up the mountains a few days early to be with their family in Breckenridge. 

Max, Chance, and I (as well as the rest of the gang) met back up with the Kittle's in Beaver Creek on Saturday for skiing.  Some people will tell you that this ski season has been a total bust.  You shouldn't believe them for second! Skiing in 45 degree weather when the sun is shining is the most fun of all. 

Bret and Cook were all smiles on the mountain and loved soaking in the sun!

Tom was in a playful mood too!

I had an amazing morning skiing with Lauren and Katie.  Skiing with these girls for a few hours is the perfect thing to help clear my head.  They help me talk out all of life's little complications.  All I need is 120 minutes with these girls and I am ready to take on the world again!  I love these two ladies. 

We decided to head in from skiing ealry so that We could play in the sun with Chance. 

I love my two little mountain boys!

We decided to apres ski at the base of Arrowhead at Beaver Creek.  I had never ended the day at this base before, but I definitely will again! This base is apparently where all of the locals hang out.  Everything is very low key and there are kids, dogs, drinks, music, and smiles everywhere you look.  Max and I have decided that this is our kind of place :)

Can you imagine a more perfect place to watch your baby turn into a toddler (how did this happen)? 

The live band was excellent and brought the perfect mood to the scene. 

Lauren and I decided to try out the famous bloody's! They were worth it. 

After some apres ski, we decided to meet back up with Nick and the Kittle's at Gore Range Brewery.  You've got to love sunny days in the mountains on the patio. 

We had a blast talking with old friends and watching our babies play. 

They LOVED crawling all over the patio cushions. 

Sara Kittle who is expecting her second child, even got to relax in the sun for a while. 

It's always nice to have friends in town.

We ended the night with the gang heading back to our condo to order pizza and watch some conference basketball games. 

I love all of our friends gathering in the mountains on the weekend. 

I guess ski days, friends, and pizza at home are a few things that never get old.
