New Years Day

New Years Day we slept in and then got ready and headed out shopping to find clothes for Matt and I's black tie event. We went to the mall and after a handful of stores the girls needed a break so they rode the Ninja Turtle Van and then they were ready for another couple stores before heading home. 
 After nap we loaded up and headed for Wolf Mountain to go skiing with Tiff and her 2 kids. I am amazed at how quickly Hallie has picked up on skiing and how much she loves it. She said excitedly, "Mom now I know how to ski can I have poles now?"
 We definitely learning how to make the whole experience more fun each time we go. Taking lots of breaks is a main point with kids. Here are the many faces of Hallie during our hot chocolate break





 And here are the rest of us enjoying Hallie's silly faces...and our hot chocolate
 Here is Gracie skiing. She doesn't consistently love it. This night she was sad she said she was cold and wanted to be done after about 1 1/2 hours so we took more breaks with her while Hallie skied more.
 Here is our "magic carpet" up the mountain

 And our skiing buddies it was great to spend some extra time with Tiff and the kids we don't get to see them near enough
