We went to Albuquerque after Christmas to see my folks. It was cold there- in the 20s the whole time. We were able to take the kids to the park, but only for 15 minutes.
They mainly played in doors. Bella created a playhouse out of a box and they used a doll ornatment as the puppet and produced a play.
Bella was finally not sick and could actually hold Peter this time.
The girls were happy to give Peter his presents.
Grandpa showed us his new telescope. I was in awe by the brightness and complexity of the moon.
Paul and Lauren gave the girls some bubblebath as part of their present. They had a blast splashing around in the water and making bubble beards.
Peter is still at that age wher he gets tuckered out and needs a lot of naps.
We went skiing for two days in Santa Fe. The first day was aweful- we couldn't get the kids in ski school, so we ended up teaching some very whinny kids how to fall in the snow :) The next day was also bad, but only because the road up to the ski slope was iced over and scarey. But we were able to get up there (we had to, because we had the skiis in our car and shoes at the top of the mountain.) We had a good time that day, even though it was a white out. We were able to put the kids in classes and they seemed to enjoy skiing for that day.
We also went for a walk in the arroyo with Jeff and july's dog Lilly (who were on vacation). We found a shopping cart in there and Daddy pushed Victoria around.
We came home on New year's eve and had pork chps, sauerkraut, dumplings, and hot dogs (our tradition NY food) then set off some small fireworks and sparklers.
We came back to Frisco on New Years. The girls were tired and wanted to "just relax" and eat some chicken noodle soup.
