Family Time

We had a really fun Christmas trip. Started out on Christmas Eve in Escanaba. Opened the Sinterklaas gifts. I made one for Amélie and she liked it a lot. Abigail had me again so she was a bit bored with it. Grampie made quite the carving for Naomi! Naomi made a miniature version of Abigail's room to show how messy it always is. Impressive. 

Christmas itself was full of lots of good food and fun presents. We even got to watch a Christmas movie. The day after we parted ways. Naomi went home to spend a couple days alone and do some baking with French Claire. The five of us drove down to Stevens Point so we could camp out at Grandma Ann's house and get together with the family. Unfortunately there was a virus going through the assisted living home so we couldn't see her, but it was great to see some cousins who live so far away!

Before those adventures, we went skiing for the first time this year. It was Naomi's first time since the snowboarder crashed into her in Germany. She was nervous, but it went well. Abigail had a huge wipeout on the last run. Always the last run. She was bombing down the hill and someone cut across the whole run and crashed into her, so she went flying off the groomed part but ended up being fine. Scary to watch. 

Naomi and I both picked up a bug, so the last couple days have been a bit rough. She managed to get the kitchen organized in spite of feeling sick. Big improvement! Hopefully today is better.

Fun with family.

Happy to be back.

First time!

Grampie made Jacob's Ladders for the girls. Tricky!
