Avalon's Style

Love this girl's sense of style!  Too cute!

Bedroom forts

Avalon and Archer have 2 favorite things when staying with Grandma and Grandpa.  First, they get mini chocolate chips and whipped cream on their waffles every morning!  And second, bedroom forts!!  They love to sleep in their forts!  Avalon likes to read by herself with a flashlight before bed!

Dog Sledding

We received the most amazing adventure for Christmas this year from Mummi and Ukki!  They took us all dog sledding!  We got to do it all...well, Jarad and Libby did anyway!  They helped put harnesses on the dogs, and hook them up to the dog sled rope!  We all got to ride in the sled's, which was a blast, albeit scary at times!  Camille fell off the dog sled and was hit in the arm by the sled as it went by, which wasn't too bad compared to the musher who was dragged along on her belly for another 500 yards! Clay really enjoyed riding with his dad! Jarad and Libby both got to try their hand at mushing, which turned out to be much harder than it looked!

 Mummi took three grandkids, Avalon, Archer, and Taylor, on the sled while Libby helped as a co-musher!  Libby had to get off several times to help get the dogs to listen and help them go the right direction.  Then, then were taken out to the lake, where the musher mumbled under his breath about how he hadn't been on this part of the lake before so he wasn't sure how solid it would be!  Yikes!     After we returned, the kids got to feed the dogs some treats!

All in all, we had a really great time!  Thanks again Mummi and Ukki for the wonderful gift!

Snow Forts

Avalon and Grandpa had fun building a really cool snow fort!!  Avalon was outside with Grandpa playing on this snow hill and building a fort for almost 2 hours!  And then she went back out for more fun the next day too!



Check out the cool grass couch on the inside!  Avalon also made her own snow tablet to play with too! :)

Playdough cakes

Archer and Grandma had lots of fun building Playdough cakes!  Luckily Grandma is not as picky as Mommy about mixing playdough colors.  Avalon got in on the fun as well.  Pretty cool cakes!!
