We thought it was going to be a week in Sun Valley with no snow. But last night a big storm came through and we woke up to blanket of snow. Anna was so excited. She couldn't wait to get ready and go outside to play. Aaron came in late last night and thought he was going to get a good nights sleep and be ready for a day of snowboarding. Boy was he WRONG! After a night of Anna complaining of growing pains and Luke calling my name all night we finally all got to sleep at around 4:30am and were up and out the door by 10am. Chris, Aaron and Anna didn't actually hit the slops until after 11:30am. We had the usual forgetting of lift tickets back at the room and Anna melt down because she didn't want to go up the hill. Finally they were up the hill and Luke and I hung out and played in the fresh powder.
Madeline took and sit and ski class.
Melt down mode. Anna was refusing to go up the hill. Chris finally picked up her up and carried her to the lift.
Skiing down the hill. I think Chris is doing all the work! The first thing she said to me when they made it down was "mom I'm happy again!"
And back up they went!
After a day of skiing or at least a few hours we headed back to the hotel for a well needed nap. One of the benefits of having so many kids around is there is always someone to babysit. Tonight the adults headed out for a nice dinner in Ketchum while the kids stayed home and watched a movie. 16 kids from the ages of 17 to 1 1/2 all in one hotel room...that's a wild party! 
Another late movie night. Aaron and Lukie snuggling and watching a movie. My kids haven't gone to bed before 11pm all week. I don't know what's going to happen when we get home.
