Happy New Year!! We spent our evening with our friends, the Shores. Above, Jackson and Isaac playing a little guitar...
Happy New Year!!
Our plan was for Abby to sleep in the Pack and Play. Unfortunately, Abby didn't want to miss out on the festivities. She woke up after about an hour and wouldn't go back to sleep. So, we were home in bed by about 10:30pm.
Here's Catie on her new Big Wheel...the Pink Express!
On Friday, we went to "Snow Mountain." They have been making snow here for a few weeks, and had over 30 inches of snow covering the equivalent of 3 football fields. There were 11 tubing runs, as well as an area to make snowmen and angels.
Here's Catie, ready to go on the tubing run...
Daddy and Catie, ready to go...
Jackson at the bottom of the run... we went on one of the starter runs, which was slower than the others, and he seemed to enjoy it.
Jackson, with "Sam" the Snowman.
Okay, so here's how most of the day went. The kids complained about the cold, the rain, and totally freaked out when a bit of snow got in their boots. These kids would never make it up north!!
Our little Catie turned 4 on January 5th! We celebrated her Birthday by holding a joint party with her friend Isabella at Monkey Joe's . We had about 25 of their friends in attendance, all bringing much needed new toys for the two princesses.
Here the girls are awaiting the birthday cupcakes!!
Jackson enjoying an intense game of air hockey...
Catie with Monkey Joe! She was one of the few kids that was not afraid of the purple freak...
We are so proud of Jackson! He received 2 awards at the Midvale Awards Ceremony... Academic Achievement and Art Achievement.
Catie looks so pretty in her new dress and "super fast" sneakers. It was about the coldest day of the year, but she refused to wear the shirt that goes underneath.
At yet another birthday party, Catie is enjoying one of the three cookies she decorated and ate under Steve's watch.
Uncle John and Ann H made an igloo! The dimensions of the igloo are 8 ft in diameter and 55 inches in height. It was -18 at the cabin, but it didn't stop them from sleeping OVERNIGHT in the igloo!! Apparently it was close to 20 degrees inside with 2 candles as heat. Crazy...
