Winter Fun

We had some great snowy days with our friends from LTG and the CSDC. Here are some snapshots.

The girls on the wagon for which the hill is named...sporting their identical outer wear...this was their first meeting.:-)

Me and my bud CS,
The whole gang preparing for the big race! Somehow, CB and her daddy were consistent winners by a mile....hmmmm seems fishy to me. The losing streak was starting to get to KS, so he took matters into his own hands and ran me and my sledding partner off the trail! Jeesh!



Almost the whole gang...on the second sledding outing. This day was quite warm and melty. Everyone was completely soaked by the end of the get together.

Grass! yet the hill was still offeringup a good ride.

Ciao!

the Holiday Madness

Maybe I am wrong, maybe I am just an old fashioned girl, but I think there are way too many toys for my kids to potentially have. The things that were unwrapped in our house on Christmas morning were wild, crazy, over packaged, and even loads of fun! I can't even tell you the number of hurdles that were jumped to get that Knex Dragon Drop RollerCoaster to our house in time! (It arrived on our door step at 4pm on the 24th...phew). Knex and Legos were the top picks, as well as DVDs and books (my favorite) and things that are already broken!

In spite of colds and coughs, our hearts were filled with fun and love. Christmas wouldn't be the same without Ammi and Bubba and Great Gramma with us. The boys were so glad to have so much attention. Even Lido had some fun and became Super Lido, the Caped Canine! Here's a peek:

Our home time was filled with lots of activities. We played with the new board games, cleaned the basement, tried out new snow shoes (and, in the doggies' case, working on their snow angels), hit the ice a couple of times, saw friends for New Year's eve and spent the last couple of hours of 2008 with family playing charades and drinking champagne.

Here's to having a safe, fun and even prosperous 2009!
