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

"It all started out with that shoe on the wall..."

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:

First time on the ice

Evvie tried out her brand new ice skates (tentatively) on our private rink! (Maintained lovingly by dadboni)

Grampa & Grandma Claus

The traditional family portrait changes significantly every year!

Stormy Weather

Well the snow was welcomed in Brunswick! We ventured outside for the first ski of the year and some walkin' in a winter wonderland.






Oops!

Christmas with the Princes

Grammy and Grampa Prince came down on Christmas eve so we could all spend Christmas morning together! It was a delightful time.


"T'was the night before Christmas..."


Levi helps mama with her new gloves, and really seems to like them!!


Evvie's all about ponies and her new Christmas Kitty! It seems to be the twin sister of "Black Kitty" who ran away about two years ago.

Ho! Ho! Ho! (#2)

Ho! ho! ho!

Levi was very proud of this project he made with The Littler Dippers. Ho! Ho! Ho! to everybody this Christmas!
