Birthday celebration with Nana

We are so happy that Mom was able to make it out to celebrate Bella's 3rd birthday, it was truly a fun filled visit.  Nana also played a crucial role in helping out with a photo shoot for the kids.

Cross country skiing

Two couples, four kids in the snow with skis, what could be more fun?  Elliot did really well for his first time out and Bella loved skiing behind the Chariot almost as much as snuggling next to her buddy Kellen in their snow carriage.
