Still plenty of snow for skiing; but it’s warm enough to wear a tank top:). This is when the Texas family is ready to join us for a winter holiday. Some of our Beaumont family arrived just in time to hit the slopes before the last lift shut down. Dustin and Daisy are the Black Diamond legends in the family and I’m happy to say they did it without any broken bones in the process:)

There were some firsts for the Galmore’s too; adding cross-country skiing and tubing to their accomplishments. The first day was exhausting but they’re still all grins and no bruised shins.

The roadtrip offered some new sights for our Texas relatives, as the mule deer and long-horn sheep were moving into our warmer slopes. Not many of these guys on the roads of Texas.

The Easter celebration was a memory we won’t soon forget. What do you do when you simply can’t get that 10’ Christmas tree down by yourself? Well I hung Easter eggs on it and the kids loved it. Hanna bonded quickly with her Beaumont cousin Daisy. They were inseparable. Daisy helped Hanna search for the eggs hidden on the slopes Easter Sunday. When they discovered that the older kids jumped the gun and got all the eggs, Hanna was so disappointed. A young mom with her preteen son was moved to encourage her son to share a few eggs with Hanna. This made Hanna’s day. An Easter memory she’ll remember till she’s a preteen herself. Then it was time for Dustin and Daisy to head home:(. Hanna hugged Daisy and cried crocodile tears until we promised her they will be back!
