New Years Eve Sledding

We were invited to go sledding with some friends near Leavenworth. It was a full day adventure and we all left satisfied with the day. 

K8 was our sledding hill tester. She was the first down and the last down the hill. 

These two set up snow chairs for optimal sledding viewing. And also to throw snow at the sledders. 

It finally happened, this girl got too much snow. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way how important it is to wear your gloves in the snow. 

Celebratory drinks on the drive home! Note: we weren't the ones driving. 

Crafting

I always have a bucket list of crafts. Here are a few I worked on:

I made a basket using my hot glue gun. 

And an R2D2 garbage can for Leia's upcoming Star Wars birthday party. 

I am in the process of making a Sounders blanket out of all of our scarves. 

Finally Skiing

After a nonexistent ski season last year the girls were eager to get back on the slopes. They popped into their skis and off they went. It was great to see them take to it so quickly. 

And of course there was time to play. 

Two days later I went up to the mountain with my friend Ellen and spent the day snowboarding. We had a great time and only went through the trees once, whoops!

A Winter Wedding

January got off to a fun start. One of Scott's friends got married. It snowed just enough to be magical and there was a hot chocolate bar! We forgot to get a family photo of all of us dressed up. Sad.
