Truth be told, some of my favorite blog posts are when I am allowed to peep into the lives of my favorite bloggers. I thought I would share a few snaps of our recent trip to Colorado, because who doesn't need embarrassing pictures of themselves on the Internet?

My mom designed the kitchen for their place in Colorado, which is a fantastic place to cook. Plus, it's has a cooktop and oven to remind me that mine is nowhere near that amazing. When we weren't cooking, we headed over to Vail Village to see the huge, lit tree. I missed the polar bears this time around, but that tree gets me every time. 

In addition to eating and sitting by the fire, we hit the slopes everyday. We were lucky enough to be the last ones in on Friday and ended up with the mountain to ourselves. I rock a neon ski jacket in an attempt to look good on the slopes which I have found to be an impossibility. Thus, the inclusion of a picture sans ski gear to help negate the puffy jacket/helment look.
