January Fun

I am in desperate need of a nap. Not only is our family experiencing the yucky sicknesses that come with cold weather but we are also having a lot of fun, thus my need for a nap or two or three.



Before our family from Ohio left town we hit the slopes. Rosa and Wiley love Aunt Lisa, Uncle Matt, and cousin Kimball.


We just had to go skiing a few more times. Rosa and Wiley consider themselves experts, I just do my best to chase them down the hill. There is something really special about a family trip to the slopes. I get that same feeling when we all go on a bike ride together. Ahhh.



Big news: Eva started sledding. Last year we took her on a few sledding runs but this is the first year that she really loves sledding. Grandma got this great blow up sled. We turn it around backwards and away we go. Eva giggles the whole way down. She loves it so much that now she doesn't want to be left in the boom boom (the green mule) she has to get as many runs in as the big kids. Although I don't have a picture of our favorite place to sled, just know that it is the perfect balance of length and steepness. People of all ages love our hill.


Rosa has been asking to go ice skating since before Christmas so on Friday we fulfilled her wish. We left the babies home and Wiley and Rosa went skating with us. Both of them did awesome. They seemed fearless on the ice.



Now, back to that nap I mentioned. I need one. A good one.
