Christmas Program

Finley had her Christmas Program at school yesterday. She did an amazing job! Three of the children were selected to have "solos" and Finley was one of the lucky performers. She scream-sang into the microphone and did an amazing job. She was so proud of herself. Videos to come, but they are taking forever to upload.

Ski School

Finley has been doing amazing in ski school. Today was her third day and she is now officially Level 4. Which means she skis better than I do. Which isn't saying much.

Her first day she had a little boy in her class, the second she had one other little girl and today she was the only kid in the class. So she has been very lucky to get so much attention in ski school. The best part is that they really do ski most of the day. No movie watching, no playing, just skiing, with some breaks for hot chocolate. Finley just loves it. The last two days she has stayed on the mountain and skied with Clifton and I. Today she and Clifton skied a green that I have trouble with, so I stayed down below to get a video of the end of the run. Her teacher said she is doing a fantastic job, I couldn't be prouder.

Decorating the Tree

We decorated the tree early this year, before Thanksgiving, since it was so late and we were going to be in Aspen for a couple weeks in December. Finley had a blast decorating the tree. I think every branch under four feet on the tree has an ornament on it, that section of our tree is quite colorful. Finley was extra careful and didn't break a single ornament. Unfortunately, I wasn't as careful and I broke one. Whoops!

Skiing!

Finley did great this morning on the slopes. She had a rough start in the morning, due to the fact it was almost 1 am when she went to bed last night after flying to Aspen. After she got her new red skis, we were off to Elk Camp. Finley said she wished she could go faster, the area was a little easier than what she was used to in Vail and Beaver Creek. It was quite cold, in the teens, so we were only out for a couple of hours. It is supposed to warm up on Tuesday, so hopefully we will get more time in once she starts ski school.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Finley had a great Thanksgiving, even though she didn't enjoy the turkey (or stuffing!)  She liked the cranberry sauce, green beans and rolls the best.  She had a wonderful time spending the day with Grammy, Grandad, Grandma and Jack.

Barcelona: Day Six, Parc Guell

Finley had an absolute blast running through Gaudi's masterpiece, Parc Guell. She was mainly pretending she was a bear, but she was playing all sorts of imagination games while we were in the park. She was so excited to go inside the "candy houses" and selected a Gaudi memory game from the gift shop. We were shocked that they are now charging admission to the park and only allowing a set number of people in at a time. I have a feeling it will be crazy in the summer.
