New Years In Spokane

We just returned from a wonderful 4 days in Spokane. Here are some highlights of our trip:

- Playing games...lots of games. The kids are now old enough where we don't have to restrict our game playing to after the kids go to bed. We can play during nap/quiet time...or when they are downstairs in the playroom or watching a movie.

- Catching up with Levi. Levi was also up visiting Titus and Elizabeth so we got to see him and hang out.

- Snow. Every morning Hannah would tell me, "Mom, the snow is STILL here." She was so excited. The first day she got on her snow gear and played outside with Joe. They lasted about 10 minutes before the 12F weather got to them.

- Sledding. Hannah actually went sledding. She tends to be a little cautious about such things, but after some really slow rides, we actually traveled at a good velocity.

- Hannah and Judah dressed up in some pretty cute costumes. Hannah's the tiger and Judah is the frog.

- Playing with Gus, Titus and Elizabeth's German Shepard. OK, this wasn't a highlight for me, but Caleb sure had fun with him.

Well, that's all I can think of. Mainly the kids played together and the adults played games. Here are some fun pictures.

Isn't it beautiful how the snow stuck to the trees?

One day we napped Peter and Judah in the same room. There was alot of playing going on before they fell asleep. Apparently there was also quite a bit of toys being transferred into Peter's pack'n'play as well. Here's how we found Peter sleeping.

Caleb & Gus

Judah the frog and Hannah the tiger. I asked Hannah, "Are you a tiger?" Her response, "No I'm a person in a tiger costume."

Peter all bundled up to go out in the snow.

This is my favorite sledding picture - Titus and Abigail.
