Winter fun begins














"Is it summer time yet mommy?" Sarah's new favorite question of the day. Alas, no it is not summer, in fact winter has not yet begun. But the fun of winter and Christmas have started. We already had our Season Appreciation Luncheon at the Beach. The girls had so much fun. Sarah even tried ice skating with real skates, while Emily went with just her gym shoes on. The Merry-Go-Round was a hit like always, and other than losing a glove in the water for a short period of time the paddle boats were a hit as well. Both Sarah and Emily even tried the winter slide. I think I was more scared than they were. We have had our Christmas cookie bake, yummy yummy like always. And now we are moving on to wrapping presents so in a very short period of time we can unwrap them.



We had our first notable snow fall of the year. Unfortunately we were unable to make snowmen or have a decent snowball fight. Sarah did enjoy making a snow cake and snow orange juice with me. Also we made snow angels and played soccer outside until it finally hit here that she was cold and we had to go back inside immediately. I am looking forward to sleding and snowmen later this year with better snow.


Until next time... Adios!
