More ski weekend...

The view from our cabin was amazing! You couldn't find a better place to stay then right here. Ma and Pa got their own room and bath...fire place included. Uncle B. and Aunt L. got their own room and bath...fire place included. We also got our own room and bath...fireplace included. We loved the living space to visit and eat "great meals" A special thanks to all the chefs...the food tasted extra good with great company.

First time skating!

We had so much fun skating at Uncle J. and Aunt K. lake house.

Punky got skates for Christmas (even though she was wearing a cousin's pair of hockey skates this time.)
It was a cold windy day on the lake but what good is the season of winter if you can't get out and enjoy it!

Look at her go...what a
natural!















Bub making his snow angels! He opted out of skating...maybe next year!

Luckily for Daddy...Bub looks much better in his Gophers outfit!

HO HO HO

We went up for baths and came down to open presents and to our surprise Santa found us at Grandpa and Grandma P's. I had whispered in Santa's ear at the daycare center that I would LOVE Pat Pat Rocket and I must have been a good girl because that's what he brought me. Bub got his favorite Mickey Mouse Club house. Thank you Santa, Merry Christmas. Hug Rudolf for us and we hope he enjoyed the carrots.

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve. The morning started with Santa leaving us presents in our stockings at our house. Followed by our family opening our presents together. Thank you mom and dad for our presents we love them and they will keep us entertained for hours!

Next we loaded up the car for our three day Christmas adventure and headed to Grandpa and Grandma P's. The Christmas pageant at church was really nice...we always love to see the camels.
Grandma made a wonderful dinner and once again Santa stopped by and surprised us.

Christmas day we went to Grandpa & Grandma T's. We visited and had a good meal. Thanks for the presents.

Later, we went over to Grandpa & Grandma M's. We played outside and tried to build a snowman but the snow did not cooperate. We did go to water tower hill to go sledding. Wow, they had some really big jumps (bumps) on the hill and we would go flying. We love playing with all of our cousins.

Thank you Grandpas, Grandmas, Aunties, Uncles and cousins for our wonderful presents.We are excited to see the Grinch again next year...thank you Auntie K. and (soon-to-be) Uncle A.

It's been awhile...lovin' the snow

Once again the old saying goes..."It's been awhile!" Bub and I are loving the snow. We love to help mommy shovel the driveway and we also love sledding in the back yard. The first time Bub went down the hill in the sled he must have forgotten how much fun it was last year. He screamed the whole way down and then cried at the bottom. Lucky for him he remembered after a couple more times how much fun it really is.

It is amazing how no matter how cold it is outside I could play out there forever. I don't know if it is my super warm snow suit or all of my bottled up energy flowing out of me. Who knows? Maybe it is just knowing that mommy is going to have hot coco waiting for us when we get back in the house! Bub doesn't always feel the same way as I do. he seems to get cold quite a bit faster and he still has a harder time walking through all that snow.

We also went to the Holidazzle Parade and that was so much fun. You gotta love this state. Hope your enjoying the snow, too!
