Winter Wonderland

A little bit of snow and alot of ice allowed for some fun sledding this weekend. Haley was fearless going down the big icy hill...I think I was more scared than she was! Charlie was a little more cautious but he had fun playing in the snow. The last picture is a little grainy, but it was taken on my cell phone this morning as we walked home from the grocery store. Haley pulled the sled full of groceries all the way home.

MLK in Blowing Rock

Sledding in the driveway and in the park while in the mtns worked out perfectly, especially since Charlie was too young for snow tubing. I think we'll stick with this for a while...its cheap and easy! Love that!

First Ski Trip

We took Haley skiing over MLK and she had a blast! She did ski wees ski-school and then enjoyed some time skiing with Daddy. Charlie and I just played in the snow and watched some of the action from the lodge. Check out our little ski bunny (#210):

January Snow

We got out token snow "storm" on January 19th. It was a whopping 2 inches, pure bliss for the children. They couldn't even stand the excitement...so much so that these pictures were taken at 8:45 am! What??? We played for what felt like hours and were back inside to warm up by 10:30.

Our neighbors, the Davis', have a great hill for sledding so we all hung out by their outdoor fireplace and watched the kids sled over and over and over again.

Later that day I watched the presidential inauguration. I won't comment on that since I'm not ready to talk politics yet on this blog...thanks, though.
