We celebrated AJ’s 36th birthday a few days early with cake and presents (a NEW BIKE!) because we went on a ski trip (first time in 10 years) over his birthday weekend.  The kids got to learn the basics in ski school which they LOVED and had a great time.  AJ and I got a ‘day-date’ ski/snowboarding in the foggy mountains of VA including a relaxing lunch.  After their school we skied as a family for the rest of the day.  The kids did great their first time and Brooke did so well she went down a long green run twice, once with Daddy and once with Mommy.  Happy birthday AJ!
