Skiing at Bradbury Mountain

We took a family excursion to Brabury mountain in the powdery January snow. Evvie growing more comfortable on her skis, and we bribe her to go a little further, and a little further with an M&M every other trail blaze. It works well, although she pokes along, so one of us gets to ski swiftly ahead and then turn around and come back to take M&M detail with the girl.

It's fun to be out in the winter!


M&M Time!

Snow Fun

We've turned the relatively gentle slope in our yard into a pretty good sledding hill, thanks to mother nature and a snowblower. Here's some January fun:

Wacky Wednesday

Thanks Dr. Suess!

Christmas with the Smiths!

After a snowstorm delay, Gramma Sue and Grandpa Jim arrived safe and sound for a wonderful visit. Here are some of the highlights:
