New Year's Day













We are not very equipped with the necessary clothing for skiing, but I managed to find some big coats from my neighbor.  Logan borrowed Abby's Ski Pants, since she was sick and not able to go.  I just had the other boys put three layers of clothes on.  We bought gloves for Clark that fit, but he just couldn't keep them on because he didn't know how to wear them.  Logan's gloves were too big, so he also had trouble keeping them on.  Brady's fit just right, and he was able to keep them on.  Now that they were all bundled up with their snow gear, they were ready to go!  Clark especially did not like to be bundled up!  He was very whiny until he put the Skis on.  Then we was happy and excited to go!  He loved it!  Logan was very exhausted and not feeling the best.  We got him to make it down the slope Two times, and then he was done! Then I took him up to get a drink, sit down, and rest.  Now he'll tell everyone that he had the best time ever.  Brady did great!  He loved it, and wants to go again!  It was a big effort, but overall everyone had fun!  Thanks to Grandpa Skidmore, Burke, Stacey, and Vance for making it happen!  The adults stayed the whole day, and the kids stayed half of the day!  We had a good time, and it was so cute to see them Ski!

That night, Chrissie and Vince took Vance and I out to dinner for our Christmas present.  We chose to go to The Outback Steakhouse.  Mom and Dad watched the kids while we all went to dinner.  It was fun to just be with the adults.  Vince and Chrissie also paid for us to go to the movies.  They went back to the house to help mom and dad with the kids, while Vance and I went to see "Les Miserables"!  We had a fun night!  Thanks Chrissie and Vince for our night out!
