Back log of holiday flikcs/picts



Pictures of Madelyn in her "librarian glasses" again this morning. Also, Lisa's first ski of the year - nothing fancy, just a quick few loops around the Jackson Elementary field which was newly groomed. In the negative numbers this morning, but might have graced us with single digits this afternoon...Cold and fast skiing!

Sitting on a large stash of movies to post, but having technical trouble... stay posted for Madelyn's holiday program, Miles giggling at flapping blankets, and Tate and Maddie reading a book together in their fort this morning.

Christmas Eve sledding!!

Maddie and Michael braved the cold to try out the Jackson Hole Elementary sledding hill... Right on the elk refuge. Merry Christmas to all!! More pics to come.

Miles "backwards worm"

Miles has just started rolling from
His belly to his back this week which is not the most graceful move, but hopefully will aide in sleeping. He also does this funny maneuver on his back, it's kind of like the worm on his back. Enjoy!

Snuggle time!

After a fun bath together, M and M snuggle in Maddie's bed with their robots from my friend Anna. Madelyn asked for "a slobber Kia" from her bro before zoning out for the night. It's not always pretty, but I am so thankful that we've turned the corner from those crazier early months of siblinghood!!
