Skiing

We took advantage of the Monday deal days at the ski resort by my parents place out in WV.

One of my favorite parts of parenting is watching the kids learn something new! Evelyn was the cutest thing in the world on her tiny skis. Ryley and Jensen are almost too fast to keep up with now. Luckily my Dad got to come with us so we had an adult for each kid and could keep track of them all.

Evelyn turns 3

Evelyn decided on a butterfly theme.

We did a little party with the preschool kids. They could hardly see out of the masks, but they didn't seem to mind and wore them around for the whole treasure hunt.

Ryley had another violin concert. The pieces she's playing are getting more and more complicated! Since we'd made Jensen a Cello shape on after-concert refreshments, we had to make Ryley a violin shape on her refreshments too.

The recital hall had poor lighting, so you can't see much, but you can listen at least.

Snow Hiking

Dogsled racing! Mommy and daddy are the dogs. Fun for kids. Good work out for mom and dad.

We also found a frozen pond to play on. I know I've said this before, but the kids LOVE ice. It's such a fun thing to play with.

Jensen's First Cello Concert

We had Jensen's first Cello concert! He played twinkle twinkle little star in 6 different variations of rhythms. He did a great job and we are very proud of him. He was pretty proud of himself too! He was very brave and even did a little encore piece for us (after we explained what an encore was) and played "French Folk Song," another song he's been working on. Unfortunately, the camera didn't start recording when I pushed the button so I don't have a video. Lame.

Jensen with his great teacher! Yes, I know the certificate is up-side-down, but nobody realized it until later and then when I took another picture it was really blurry, so I had to use this one. Oh well.
