For Your Ice Only

Idaho is so stinkin' cold! No joke, it is so frigid that it is impossible to ever get warm. Our car heater stopped working because it was too cold outside for it to keep up! Everyone got into the action and went out for some fun in the snow, or as I like to call it Mt. Everest training!

You may think this is Ryan but it is his twin Celeste. PK is ready for anything!

Jed tried out his new coat. The kids and PK built this snow fort right next to Celeste and Jed's driveway. There was a ton of snow.

We spent most of the time sledding. Celeste and Jed have a perfect hill right in their back yard (until someone decides to build a house there). It is just the right size and so convenient.




Bryce, Gavin, Bryan, Candace and Eathan are ready to go.

Aunt Colette got all of the girls ready for the big New Year's Eve party. Even Katie got her first taste of a fancy hair do courtesy of Colette.
Celeste had hatched a plan to fool the kids. While they were out sledding she pushed all of the clocks ahead 2 hours so when they got back in they would think it was late than it was. She told them they could stay up until midnight and they were so happy. It was nice putting them down at 10 - hey no harm, no foul right? The really sad part is that I fell asleep at 11pm - Sorry PK I was wishing yo a happy bday in my dreams.
Celeste and Jed took great care of us and it was so much fun (aside from the fender bender on the way up- see Colette's blog for details)!
