We went sledding with friends this weekend at a local park. It was a great day to sled, Madison thought it was great when she had a "mega-wipeout". The girls also slid all the way out onto the ice rink a couple times which was of course lots of fun.

I rode down in a sled next to the girls while making this video, I didn't wipe out like them though (lucky for me).

The Wiggles Dance

Madison's new favorite movie is "The Wiggles" which we picked up at the library.

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!

Grandpa and "Fluffy"

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.

Halloween

We had a lot of fun at Halloween this year. Madison was a genie this year and loved the way she sparkled! Halloween night was of course a little on the cool side so the winter coat came out to bundle up in.
