Family time

Along with fitting in family outings, we also spent time staying cozy at home. We made good food and played Operation, relaxed on the couch and just lounged in our jammies. Phil took Marisa out for dinner and a movie and also showed how to chop wood. I thought I would take some pics of this momentous event, grabbed the camera and ran outside to see these two doing this....

In the middle of winter and loving it!

This winter has been easy on us as far as snow fall. Oh we still have snow but we have received breaks in between which has been great. During these "breaks" we have experienced below freezing temperatures a few times and wow, that is pretty darn cold! But life still moves on and we are stronger for it. This is my mantra, I say it everyday and I'm starting to believe it!





On to the good stuff.

Marissa stopped by for a visit and we were so happy she did! Phil took a few days off and we squeezed in some great family time. We took the kids sledding which is about a 20 minute drive from the house and you can see in these pictures we had fun! Diana was her usual goofy self, Gabe was fearless and screamed "this is totally awesome all the way down. Marissa was cracking up watching these crazy kids and joined in on the fun as well.

We took the kids bowling and played some air hockey as well. I would love to have an air hockey table!
