A week visit with Auntie, E and A

Auntie Jenny was bringing E and A over for a week while she observed some PE teachers on this side of the water. Jeremy was out of town for the week and so we had a fun time just the moms and kids. Grandma thankfully came and helped out too.  They were planning to arrive Monday but after seeing the weather report came on Sunday instead, good thing, we woke up Monday to a winter wonderland which all the kids really enjoyed playing in. For the rest of the week I neglected to take many pictures but we had fun doing different outings while Jen went to watch PE classes.

No Snow Fun

We woke up to a totally minuscule dusting of snow on the streets and the kids ran out with their snow gear and tried sledding down our neighbors driveway.  It was hilarious to watch them not be successful and then move on to just sliding their bodies and eventually just playing chase.  Pretty cute.

I enjoyed seeing the belly races when they gave up on the sleds.

Minnesota Vacation - part 1 - snow!

We got to MN and immediately had to head outside to play in the snow before heading out to a wonderful dinner.  The kids have so much fun playing with snow, we only wish we could get a bit more of it at our house.  Maybe next year.

Kate found it a bit hard to move.

How lucky are we, the Alecu's (our family we stayed with) have a sledding hill in their own front yard.

Leavenworth Weekend part 1

As usual, we had a really wonderful time with our family in Leavenworth.  Every year I just can't get over how lucky we are to be able to go to such a magical place for a pre-Christmas weekend.

Kate found E's chair and kept climbing in it.
