Skiers!

Reese also started skiing by herself this year without the harness. One day we were up there and Ryan had her in the harness and she said next time down I am going to do it all by myself and, lo and behold, she did it the very next time all by herself! So we went up quite a bit this year since all four of us can go together now. I had a little fight with a snowboarder on time, but other than that all went well. It was not really a fight, but a snow boarder plowed into me going full speed and twisted me all up and I have had a sore knee off and on since then.

Bike Riding

Reese learned to ride her bike without training wheels in January of this year. It is fun to have both kids riding their bikes without training wheels now, but Reese seems so little to be doing it. It is great when we want to go on a walk and the kids can ride their bikes though.

FOREVER!

Oh my gosh, it has been forever since I have done a post! I am so sorry to anyone who cares about our boring life :) I will just do a couple of quick updates from the months since Polar Express. December was fun. I took a trip to Houston to my friend Jamie's wedding, so Ryan and the kids hung out for the weekend. He took them to a parade in Golden because they love parades. Reese had her little preschool christmas program that was really cute. They sang Rudolph, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. One of the little girls in Elle's class gave everyone a bag of reindeer food for Christmas. So on Christmas Eve we had them go out and spread it all over the sidewalk. It had oats and sparkles in it so the reindeer could see it from the sky. Then we did our annual reading of the Christmas Story and opened our pajamas. We also went skiing that day together. Santa was good to them this year also. Elle got her Innotab and Reese got her DS, not to mention all the other things they got from us, their wonderfully nice parents and other family members :) They also got a lot of stuff for their American Girl dolls.
