Winter Fun and Adventures

Sledding is a must in order to enjoy the sunshine on a cold, snowy day. The girls enjoyed riding tandom, as well as solo.Caroline, Daddy and Mommy went to see Disney on Ice! Ariel, Tinker Bell, and the Lion King skated, too. It was a lot of fun!The winter of 2008-2009 brought tons of snow...70 inches or so. Normal is 42 inches for Westford. Nearly double the snow! Below is a picture when it was approximately 25+ inches high.Signing up for energy burning classes was a must this winter. With tons of snow outside, and a baby sister who doesn't like the snow, Caroline resorted to organized activities like gymnastics.Caroline took ballet this winter, too.Daddy and Caroline ice skating--see video clip at bottom of post.Caroline picked a pet..."Finn" the male Betta fish. She picked him herself...even though Mommy thought he looked a little sickly at the store. She was loyal to her first choice though--even with Mommy finding a purple one!Caroline had her friends over for a "pajama party." It was the first morning of February break and everyone arrived in jammies. We enjoyed playing, breakfast, and then watched Horton Hears a Who. It was a great party for kids and moms alike.
Being stuck inside more than we are use to, the girls entertained on another by playing dress up. "I am fancy! Are you?"
"Of course, Darling!"
And, of course, Caroline went ice skating for the first time with her Daddy. They did great! She even got comfortable enough to waive him off and try skating on her own. Way to go, Caroline!
