snow much fun

We just got back from visiting the Colorado Austins, and we had a GREAT time!! We got to play in the snow and go to the zoo and had all kinds of fun with the cousins!

Macey-3 1/2, Maggie- 2 in February, and Mallory-2 in May

This is Mallory babysitting, she's actually sitting on her baby!

Unfortunately, Maggie takes after her mother when it comes to bed head.

Macey and Uncle Rob hanging out.

Maggie and Mallo have a pretty similar appetite, and that very attractive style of 'fist feeding' when they're eating something delicious like berries!!!!

Even though Maggie brought a wonderful cough and snotty nose to share with her cousins, she still had a little energy left to try to keep up with Mallory. Who need snow or Christmas presents when you can jump off steps??

I had a really hard time trying to get a good picture of them all together- the older they are, the faster they move! The girls are watching a movie, but let's pretend this is a picture of them all watching the Steeler's game, even though they only televised the last 3 minutes out there!

Uncle Chris and Mallory

Daddy and Maggie- she was ready to go in at this point, it was very, very cold that day!

Rub a dub dub, three M's in a tub!

Maggie and Mallo snackin at the zoo.

The sea lions were singing Christmas carols for us!

Checking out the animals at the Denver Zoo. This is the best zoo for kids that I have ever been to! We saw so many animals, up so close, it was great- and Auntie Paige said usually there are so many more out! They have what is called 'Zoo Lights' during the holidays. We got to the zoo at 4 PM and saw quite a few animals- giraffes, peacocks, buffaloe, hyenas, baby snow leopards, a hippo, the elephants- just to name a few. Then, as it got dark, all the lights came on, and it was really cool! Then we got to ride the carousel and the train, it was a great night, especially since we beat the huge crowd!

Ring around the rosies with Uncle Chris.

Just a lucky shot of the three of them together, I'm pretty sure we were jumping off stairs again!!
We had a great visit, couldn't have asked for a more perfect time ( unless we could have kept Maggie healthy, and not passed on the hacking cough and neon snot nose to Mallo.) I hope she's feeling better!!! Thanks again, Auntie Cool Paige and Uncle Chris for letting us disrupt your lives for an extended weekend! We had a blast!!!
