We had a fairly good, laid back weekend. It started Friday with a great day of skiing for Emma. She's progressed very well. This, the first ski day of the year for her school, had her graduating from the Bunny hill and taking her first ride on the chair lift. She stayed on the easy hills, but did very well and really enjoyed herself. The only accident being when she forgot to lift her tips (of her skis, for you non-skiers) when she got on the chair lift and lost one of her skis. Fortunately her friend, Hannah, was next in line and brought the ski up to her. Given Emma's enjoyment of the skiing, as well as Tim's good experiences last year, we decided that we'd use the money Grandma Cathy, Grandpa Fred, and G & G Weaver gave us to take a couple of family ski days on several of the next Woods School ski days. We are able to get greatly reduced ski prices those days ... should be fun. Though the next ski day (Friday) is supposed to be very cold!!
Saturday we had some friends from the neighborhood over for breakfast ... sourdough pancakes. It was a lot of fun. The kids are all basically old enough to play together with little supervision, so it was fun to just hang out and get to know our neighbors a bit. We were all really lazy after that ... just sat around much of the day! We had some leftover pancake mix (you have to use it up in about 24 hours), so headed over to Grandma and Grandpa D's to share that with them for dinner.
Sunday was church and more relaxing ... whew, I'm tired from relaxing so much! And now we're back in the swing of things for a new week.
We got quite a bit of snow Friday/Saturday, with more to come today. There are huge piles of snow everywhere. It's amazing to think how big the piles would be if we hadn't had the big thaw/melt several weeks ago!
