Trevor and I took the little ones up to our friend, Brian's cabin on January 27-29th. Matthew was in San Jose with his Dad. We wanted to get out of our own house, and just relax at a cabin, enjoy the snow and spend some time with our kiddos.
Last year we took Matt and Maddison to the snow, and Trevor and I took turns sitting in the car with Maddison because she wanted nothing to do with it. It is amazing what happens in a year. This time, she wanted to play in the snow without her snow clothes, in her pajamas and little Mary Jane shoes. She was so excited to build a snow man with Daddy that was "her" size. She named him George. (Maddison has a fascination with pigs, and loves to watch the show Olivia and Peppa Pig. For those of you who are not familiar with Peppa Pig, It is a cartoon of a family who has a baby big named George, Peppa Pig the sister, Mommy Pig and Daddy Pig. They speak in British accents and Maddison thinks this how is HILARIOUS!)
One of the days we decided to go sledding in the snow. Maddison sat on my lap as well as Daddy's. Mason watched from the side, and would kick in excitement as we passed him, so Daddy of course thought he should get a turn! (I was a little nervous, of course) We went down the hill countless times, but of course when you go down, you must go up! Talk about exhaustion, but it was totally worth it! The expression on our little girls face, made the entire day worth it!
We have tons of pictures from our Big Snow weekend... You can tell the kids had a lot of fun! And another great thing about playing in the snow, in high elevation, it is a lot of exercise! So, when the kids went down, the slept DEEP! So Trevor and I go to enjoy having a couple drinks with our friend Brian!
