Steamboat Springs

We took AK to Steamboat this year. She had such a great time skiing. She was dressed before 7am and always wanted to be the last off the mountain each day. She wants to know why we can't move there so she can ski every day after school. She also got poles this year after day 3 (which was a huge deal for her...like a status symbol for little kids, I guess!) She became pretty good at skiing moguls and got to ski through a half pipe several times.

We waited in this position several hours before another skier came by to take this picture. (JK!)

 

                                                

Reading Fair

Ava's storyboard for her school's reading fair won first place in the entire first grade!! She competed at the district level today and unfortunately didn't place, but we are so proud of her! She loves her Cleopatra wig!

Mmmmmmm.....gingerbread!

 Our annual Christmas tradition of making a gingerbread house. I turned her loose on it this year, and of course she ran out of icing (ate it all) before we got it put together!

Daddy

so excited to see her Daddy show up before the first graders performed at the lighting of Ballard Park.

Trampoline!!

 AK begged me to take her and her friend Ruby to jump at the mall. They were so cute and had so much fun. Best way to get kids to let you get your shopping done.

Cousins at the Game

Aunt Kathy, Uncle Wayne, Hampton, Olivia and Daniel all came down for the MSU/Vandy game. AK was soooo excited to have her cousins here.

Weekend in Nashville

 At Climb Nashville--she was so excited about getting back to this and she did so well!
