Weekend Fun

Well, we had a nice relaxing weekend and I thought I would share a few pics....


This is to prove that Frosty earned a spot on the hutch shelf with the other musical decor :) Thanks Grammy and Grandpa!

Miss Fashion Statement decided it was too cold in the living room Saturday morning. So, rather than putting on trousers and a sweater (she generally walks around the house in tights and a t-shirt), she donned her gorgeous pink (lined) rain jacket that her friend Grace gave her earlier this year, her purple "Hawaii" crocs (from Grammy and Grandpa), her Hello Kitty gloves (from Ingrid) and her kitty cat wool hat that I bought her in Talin or Riga (can't remember which).

Here she is lounging in "her chair". The next project was baking. Tim and Lexi baked pepperkake (gingerbread cookies) and kakemenn (a cross between a shortbread cookie and sugar cookie). Her is the Cookie Taster herself (trust me, she ate nearly equal amounts of dough...)

To prove that Lillian still gets attention, here she is....

Lexi got out her cookie sheet and rolling pin from her play kitchen and insisted on using them. Here is the master baker in action....

Here is a sheet of cookies waiting for oven time...

We woke up Saturday to a light dusting of snow and temps OVER freezing (go figure - first day in 3 weeks of above freezing temps and we have it on the day we get snow????). Anyway, we got a bit more on Saturday night. Tim and Lexi headed out for some sledding and skiing both Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.

New skiis, ski boots and snowsuit (next size up for a growing girl)

And the world's smallest snowman... (which is presently melting on the front porch)
