Muppet movie night on the 10th fairway under the stars capped off the perfect weekend!

St. Rita here she comes!

We celebrated Mollie's school acceptance with a special family dinner on the patio at our favorite neighborhood spot.
Mollie, we are so so excited that you will be at St. Rita next year.  Look out St. Rita... 
this little spark plug is coming your way :)

School Carnival!

Kendall rode the train, got her first manicure and Mollie's class raised $672 toward childhood hunger at the Kindergarten bakesale.  Perfect Saturday!

"Can we do that thing again where we sit in a donut and go down the mountain?"

Mom's Dream Come True

My Mollie:
One of my favorite things in the world has always been skiing with your dad, and I had an out of body experience when I first saw you on skis when you were barely two years old.  Every year, I have  been overjoyed when I saw you smile on skis, but all along I had been waiting for the first time you could sit next to me on a chair lift, then we could ski together to the bottom.  

THIS WAS THE YEAR! Dad, my mini-me, and I went to the top of the mountain and skied with you all the way to the bottom.  You beamed the whole time, I did too! You showed us your little jumps, you detoured from the run to ski through the trees, you said "purple light" and danced the whole say down, we did a run as a family with Papa, aunts and uncles and Madeline.  
It was all pure magic!  Literally, a dream come true since you became my side-kick five years ago.
SO proud of you big girl, and still gleaming as I write this!
xo,
mama

Here are way too many pictures of it, but I don't want to forget it!
 












WIPED OUT!

Hanrattys in Wonderland

One of the biggest highlights for the girls in Breckenridge was playing in the snow.  
Mollie dove right in the minute we arrived, but Kendall took a bit longer to get excited about it.  
She spent the first couple of days watching her cousins play outside from a warm perch in the window.  By the last day, she was the first kiddo outside to play in the snow and the last one in.
