Long Overdue!

Phew!  Well, to say some of these posts are long overdue is an understatement.  To stay in the appropriate order, we will start at Christmas at Nanny's and end up at Thanksgiving.  

Caste, Emma, and Paia waiting patiently to open their gifts.  Emma is showing us her calm body (must have learned that at school).

Kids and phones are like magnets.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!   Wishing you a healthy and happy holiday season. 

Our Little Ski Bunny

We got Emma out on the slopes for the first time and she LOVED it!  She even wanted Andy to take her on the chairlift.  I think that was one of Andy's proudest moments!  

Getting ready...that's a lot of work!

the magic carpet

There they go!

Bouncy House Fun!

The Basin Rec. Fieldhouse held a Christmas celebration with Santa Claus, bouncy houses, and arts and crafts.  Emma couldn't get enough of the bouncy slide.

"rock" climbing

Yep...she climbed up that "ladder" all by herself.

She even sat on Santa's lap with her friends Lily and Riley.  When we asked what she wanted from Santa, she replied "a present."  We asked what kind of present and she said, "a green present."  

Thanksgiving 2012

Nana Kim, Bill, Aunt Whitney, and Jason came to visit us for Thanksgiving this year.  We also hosted Thanksgiving dinner for about 19 people...fun times!

Such a little helper...helping to peel potatoes

We had to do a little rearranging, but it turned out great!

Now it's time to hike off all of the calories.

She LOVES these shoes!  She has already broken a heel.
