Happy 2018!

By
Just like last year, we celebrated the new year with a party at our friend's the Kriegler's. The kids had an awesome time eating mac n' cheese and even stayed up till about 11pm! The grownups had a delicious grown up meal of beef tenderloin and lots and lots of bubbly. We also all made it to midnight this year, although Scott and Greg crashed pretty much immediately after.

Happy new year!

slumber party!
 This year, instead of the snow coming to us on New Year's day, we went to the snow! It had snowed her the week before for a beautiful white Christmas (or so I'm told) but by the time we got there, the snow had melted and iced over. The sledding hills were closed so we pulled over to the side and made our own sledding fun! Several other cars stopped along the same road and it ended up being a pretty good time. Nora even got into it this year and was bugging Daddy to go again and again!

Pink ball of coziness!

who needs a sled when you can slide down on your buns?

So much packed snow

It was steeper than it looks in this picture!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Alaska Cruise

By
We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...

Evie got a skateboard recently so our usual scoot and bike nights now also include her skateboarding. Here's a short video of her, Scott and Nora rolling down the street.
