Somehow, somewhere, we lost Lizzy's most valuable accessory while traveling back from Chicago. Her swaddle blanket!! Lizzy is a great sleeper, but one of the secrets to her success is her beloved swaddle blanket. She definitely sleeps better and longer when she is tightly swaddled. We remember packing it for sure, but when we unpacked it was gone. Ever since, there have been no sightings of it in our home or my parents' home in Chicago. Maybe the airport staff coveted it??
Well, we were about to make a special trip to the store to buy a new one when Aunt Michelle came to the rescue! She surprised us with a brand new special swaddle blanket that is so cute. Lizzy now sleeps like a baby once again.
Michelle is so great with all her nephews and nieces. You can always find her with a kid at her side, in her lap, maybe even helping out with a diaper or two.
We headed up to Canada early Sat. morning and stayed til late Tuesday night. We walked around Whistler Village, touring the shops and sites. 
Then, we skiied til our muscles felt torn and our limbs like rubber. For some this was sooner than for others....I really need to work out.
Elizabeth missed out on the skiing, but not for too long. We plan on getting her on the slopes at an early age! 
She stayed in and had the greatest time with Grammy! 
This trip was awesome because we could walk from the hotel straight onto the slopes which allowed me to get to and from my little girl. Otherwise, skiing with a baby would not have been possible this season! Lizzy and Grammy got lots of bonding time. Thanks Grammy!
The only thing better than skiing is sitting in a jacuzzi right after skiing all day. It was my personal place of zen. "Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present."
Having Steph and her kids around, it was like the continuation of holiday fun. 
Spending time with family.
Just having a good time going out. We took the kids roller skating and even little Lizzy got to go out on the rink in her stroller. She loved it!
Lizzy got to meet her Aunt Stephanie for the first time along with her two older cousins. Evy and Dane were so gentle and loving with Lizzy it was adorable. 
Another favorite activity is her morning bath. She goes wild with the splashing, flailing her arms and kicking her legs. She smiles and laughs through the whole process. Her least favorite activity is tummy time. There is alot of crying whenever I attempt to place her tummy down.
