Can I share some holiday pics?

[LoveMyBabyBeans]

I've been pretty busy lately and we took a week long ski trip, so I have a ton of pics to share, if you ladies don't mind. :) I'm excited to go back and look at all the holiday pictures and if you haven't shared any yet, please do!!!

We travelled to St. Veit, Austria (heavenly) for a ski vacation and had a blast. We put Huey, who's 4, in ski school for the week and he did great. It was mine and DH's first time on skis too. :) Here are some pics:

Huey in his REI snowsuit. Hey, I have to share where he got his outfit from, right?

A view from the slopes. Can you say Heaven? I want to move to Austria!

Both boys in their J&J Alpine Quest Ski sweaters watching some Tirolean folk dancers (think of the scene in Chevy Chase's European vacation where he is dancing in Lederhosen and causes a big fight):

Huey skiing again. Can you tell I was proud of him?

It looks like the entire family had a fabulous holiday. I can't believe Andie is so big. She looks so cute in the Hanna dress. Thanks for sharing!

Great pics! Andie looks so cute in her HA dress! The Austrian scene is gorgeous, too! I was happy to hear you had Huey in ski school. We're trying to teach Brendan to skate this year and would love to take him skiing, too. Thanks for sharing!

Kerry, what gorgeous pictures!!! First of all, all three children are precious! They look happy and cozy in all their terrific Hannas. :) I especially love that last one of Andie in her snowflake dress...too cute. The scene from Austria is amazing! Wow! No wonder you want to move there. ;) Glad you had a nice holiday.

Great photos Kerry - thanks for sharing them!

I love that Hanna dress on Andie. I think your photos have convinced me to buy it for future DD for next Christmas. I am due in May so DD should be around Andie's age when she ends up wearing it. What size did you buy? I am thinking a 70...what do you think?

Kerry, what great pictures and what beautiful children. Love all of them - and their smashing wardrobes. Andie is too cute in that dress. She is about 6 mos now right? Can you believe how quickly those 6 months flew? Katherine is 5 months and went by in a wink!!! We have those preschoolians in white and they are adorable.

Glad you posted pictures - was wondering where you had been

Thanks for sharing the wonderful pictures!! The kids all look wonderful in their beautiful clothing and they look like they are flourishing in their new environment!!

Can I say how incredibly jealous I am of you living in Germany? I just love it there and would move there in a heartbeat. The Austian picture you posted is just gorgeous. Have you traveled around Salzburg yet? The region around Salzburg is called Salzkammergut (specifically the town of St. Gilgen and the lakes-- Wolfgangsee and Mondsee) and it is the most breathtaking place that I've ever seen. Try to get there if you can!

I've been having a rough time lately. I may just run away from home and come to visit you ;) !

[LoveMyBabyBeans]

Thank you so much, Marie. Come and visit anytime!! Seriously. I can get a little lonely over here so we welcome visitors to come and visit. I'm hoping we have lots of visitors this year.

I have been to Salzburg, twice now. Once in 1998 by myself. I took it all in on that trip because, well, I didn't have toddlers with me. LOL I saw St. Gilgen on that trip (I took that really cheesy, but fun Sound of Music tour) and you are right, it is absolutely breathtaking. I want to get my DH and kids there too. Another favorite place of mine in that area is Hallstatt. OMG! Just stunning. Can you tell that I adore Austria? Oh, and I love Vienna and my dream is for DH to get an embassy assignment in Vienna. One can hope.

Our ski trip was to the Salburger Sportwelt, just about 30 minutes South of Salzburg. We had no time to stop and see Salzburg, but the area we were in was just amazing. The ONLY bad part of the trip was the damn Autobahn 8 from Stuttgart to Salzburg (turns into Autobahn 10 in Austria) which was nothing but a big mess of traffic jams. Blech! Other than that, we had a blast.

I hope everything's okay. I did see in another post that you said you had a rough holiday. Hey, we're always here to talk if you need to get anything off your chest. Hang in there. :)

Kerry, these pictures are great! That ski trip to Austria looks blissful! Looks like you and the fam had a wonderful Christmas!! And I can't get over how big Andie is getting--what a beauty!

[lrucci]

Kerry,

Those are great pictures! I love the pic of Quinlan with the cap and glasses, he is so handsome. Andie is getting so big and she looks adorable, as always, in her snowflake dress.
