Christmas Catch Up Part 2

Despite our fears of not making it to MN with all the snow, we relished the sight of it once we got there. Faith would not stop eating it! After taking a good 20 minutes to bundle her up, she and Josiah took to the hills to sled. Fifteen minutes and about 3 face plants later, she was done.

We celebrated Grace's first birthday while we were there. I got to spend more time with her this time around and so enjoyed her. This girl is no pansy and can hold her own. Having an older brother it's more out of necessity than anything.

Faith had asked to go ice skating while we were in MN. I think she was thinking a more idyllic setting like a lake but we had to rent skates, so to the local hockey rink we went. She more chair skated where we pushed her in a chair since the skates that were given to us were more like blocks of ice than footwear. Ryan and I even got to skate around holding hands, awwww...

It is so fun now that Ava is getting older. Faith was instructing her in the way of dress up and Ava politely went along with it.

We did go to Dallas as well, but didn't get much for pictures. You can tell there are older kids there, we got too busy talking!

This is the ONLY halfway decent photo we have of the kids together, so I'm including it since I

don't know when we'll see another.

And last but not least, 3 generations of Polo shirted, khaki dress panted fellas.
Happy New Year!
