Winter Fun

Trip up to Tony and Mirna's cabin for dinner and games. 

I took all five of my kids plus 2 neighbors sledding.



She just sat with me the whole time, but loved being with everyone.

He was fearless.  A little scary but fun.
 
We went skiing a lot as a family this winter.
 


First time I had been skiing in 15 years.  Yes, I was scared.
 



Happy and sad to report that they are all better than me now.

CHRISTMAS 2011

My parents came up to spend Christmas with us this year and it was so wonderful.  We started the party off with a Gingerbread house.





We took the cruise to the North Pole.



Grandma BRAVED the upper deck with the big boys and me.  It was COLD but fun.


The magic stayed alive when Santa read Adams name on the good boys list.


Then we went to dinner.


It was so WONDERFUL having mom around to help with the baking.


We introduced Mirna to decorating cookies.



We went to the Davenport.





Gracie's favorite part was getting ready with Grandma in the morning.





We went to the Springers to read and act out the story of Christs birth.


The cutest Mary and Joseph ever.


The 3 Wise men.


Before church the kids got to open their stockings.



And the big Santa gift.










It was a wonderful holiday, we were so sad to say goodbye.
