Cody learns to ski in our neighborhood slope

One of the things the kids did for New Years was going skiing. However, we didn't have to go anywhere for that. Alan thought that the neighborhood slope is good enough! It may look a little familiar as it's where the kids go sledding!!

So, he dragged 2 kids up the slopes multiple times!!

Here's our Cody... (Tyler already knows how to ski on real ski slopes!)

Our little Cutie

Looking all confident.. but he really was scared to death!

There he goes!!

Here's a video:

Tyler's Wish list to Santa

Apparently Tyler and his classmates wrote their own Santa Wish List at school. His list is kinda simple, which really brings out his innocence. 

A Santa Hat?? We already have 5 of those at home!!!

Sledding fun

We got quite a snow dump on Christmas Day. And on the weekend, when i felt a little better, i took the boys for some sledding!!

Cody was initially not willing to ride on his own but toward the end decided that he would after all! Yay!!

Jude our neighbor kid also tagged along for some rough tumble fun!!

Tyler is a pro by now

Tyler and Jude make a fun team

Mommy and Cody make a fast team!

I like the way Cody is whooping in this video!

Making snow balls

Colorado snow is very dry and it's often hard to make a snow ball. But our fabulous Auntie Diana gave the boys some snowball maker a few years ago and it's finally being used!

After sledding, the boys got home and started making some snow balls and i encouraged them to do a snow ball fight(like proper boys!!).

Tyler churning them out

Quite a pile

Slowly and Gently does it

Here are some videos of the fights ensued and how they were made:

Some initial fight and how they made the balls

The Real fight starts.. and ends..

And of course.. this was going to happen..

Tyler is a Lego master?

Tyler got a giant 940 piece Lego set from Santa and the Grand Parents, so on his last day before going back to school he set about making the spaceship from the Lego Movie.

He did a great job, it did take us nearly 4 hours to get it done, with just a few mistakes to rectify along the way.  Now we just have to find somewhere to put it.

Now that is a pretty big lego set

7 bags of Lego to build

Finished at last
