HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year!!

We are having a low-key New Year's Eve this year. It is just the three of us for the evening together to read some princess stories and play games. Our special New Years dinner was crab legs, and if you ask Madison they are not just crab legs but KING crab legs! She loves to eat the crab legs and play with them too as you can see.

Some sledding adventures from our trip to Michigan.

While we were visiting family in Michigan we took a morning to go sledding. It was a great little hill for Madison and David to sled down. Madison did go down the "fast run" on the backside of this hill.....but only once because she had hangtime off the bump at the bottom and she was flying like a rocketship down the icy slope.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

We wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Madison got a "Hello Kitty" camera for Christmas and here are some pictures she has taken already.

Cousin David

She is getting good at taking pictures of Mom and Dad.

We left cookies and milk for Santa and Madison insisted we leave some apples for the Reindeer too!

Video from Waterpark

Here is a video of Madison and Dad going down the Lazy River.

Thanksgiving at the Waterpark

We went to a waterpark for Thanksgiving this year as our own little family getaway. We had a blast! Madison loved doing the lazy river, again and again and again. We even had a Thanksgiving dinner complete with our own turkey at the Lodge restaurant.

Fun at the arcade! Madison went for a bus ride with Arthur Reed from one of her favorite PBS cartoons and she also played "bop the shark", don't worry, no sharks were injured in this game.

Madison also has taken up the hobby of photography like her dad. She must have liked the carpet at the hotel because she took a picture of it along with the animal mounts they had.

When your not quite 4 feet tall it is hard to take a picture over the top of railings!

Madison thought Great-grandpa would like these old motors that they had in the hallways.
