Lighting of Breckenridge!

We got to nanny the Stais girls for an overnight, which thrilled us all!  Elsie Anne b/c she gets such a kick out of the big girls, and Shawn & I b/c we haven't gotten to spend much quality time w/ them since I used to nanny them before EA was around!!

It was a good time... We went into town for the Lighting of Breckenridge, only we missed the actual 'tree lighting'!  Didn't matter to the girls at all... they were impressed just @ the sight as we walked up!  The tree is huge & at the town center, they put thousands of lights on it... very Rockafeller Center'esque'!!
Shelby(5), Lexi(3), EA(1&3/4), me(30) hahaha!!
This was also very impressive, and warm!!  They had a hot air balloon basket in the back of a truck & blew the fire out every once in a while!  The girls were in awe, but it startled them every time:)
They climbed on this mound of snow w/ a ton of other children, then decided to rest & do snow angels! 
Elsie Anne & Lexi cutting a rug to the live band in Town Square!  Got to love their fearlessness... Shelby being the older & more mature one, wouldn't get close to the inner circle of dancing!!
The next morning, after church, we had lunch in town, and walked around throwing snow balls @ rocks, the river, light posts, you name it... you think Shawn had anything to do w/ that?! :) The girls had a ball playing on the Goat Sculpture!
At one point, as all the girls played together in the living room, Shawn & I both thought... Wow, this could be our family in 5yrs!!  Not really age-wise, but a big family of GIRLS!  He just knows that's all we'll have, and he's actually pretty pumped about it, he really wants another one:)
