End of Winter

So I think that winter is officially over.  We had a great winter despite the extreme cold.  Here are some highlights.

We took Nero with us on a couple of sledding trips.  He loves the snow.  This week we had our 1 year anniversary of bringing Nero to live with us.  He is much bigger now, but still pretty cute. 

Isaac spent some of his own money on Peeps and then sacrificed two of them in hot chocolate (one for his sister)

 Last weekend we went up to Michigan and the kids had their first skiing/snowboarding lessons.  I think that Isaac is going to be a pretty good snowboarder and that Mackenzie is going to really love skiing.  Brian and I had fun skiing with them as well, even though I didn't make it off the bunny hill.

 We also visited with the newest cousins last weekend.  This isn't our first visit, but this is the first time that the kids have held them (they actually only held Adriana, Gabriel was sleeping).  They are very proud cousins and Adriana was quite a trooper.

 Uncle Brian even got to put her to sleep!

So I think we accomplished most of what we wanted to this winter.  Snowmen were built, mountains (okay, hills) were conquered, cousins arrived and were held, there was some ice skating and some hot chocolate drinking.  So, bring on Spring!
