Olan takes to the slopes

We finished off our last day of what has been an incredible vacation by Olan's first trip to the local ski hill. It was a huge success, he wanted to stay and ski all day and has talked of little else since we got home, though he's so tired that he stopped mid-sentence at dinner and stared off into space. In the bath he drew the bunny hill and the different runs with his bath crayons and as he fell asleep he told me that he wished that his instructor Jimmy was part of our family and did I know that Jimmy was the greatest skier in the world??? Needless to say I think we'll be headed back to the hills this weekend.

Happy New Year!

Good friends of ours threw a kids New Year pajama party, it started earlier in the day and at 8:00 we did a "countdown" for the kids and let them scream and shout and wave their sparklers around... only one burn in the bunch and it was on a parent, phew. It was a great way to ring in the New Year, now what will 2011 bring for us all?

The hosts, into the champagne much? :)
