Christmas came and went and as usual Taralyn was spoiled. She was very surprised with some of her gifts. She had been asking for a Nintendo Wii for the longest time and we kept telling her that we could't find one. In reality, we had found one in August and had been kepping it hidden from her. She was very surprised. She plays it constantly. We also had another snow and went sledding again. She had so much fun. I think sledding has become her new favorite outdoor winter activity.

Sledding adventure

Taralyn had her first sledding adventure last weekend. After the ice storm that we had last week, the weather god blessed us with about 4 inches of snow. My friends daughter spent the day with us so she got to go sledding also. I even got on the sled!!! I had forgotten how much fun it was. Taralyn was a bit scared at first but by the end she was at the top of the hill going as fast as she could! We are supposed to get snow again this weekend so hopefully we can go again...Enjoy the pics!!!

Ice Storm

On December 10 we had a bit of bad weather. The midwest was covered in ice. We had a terrible ice storm which left us with no power for 3 days. We had damage to the house from falling tree branches. We are alright though. Taralyn was a bit scared but we explained to her that things would be fine and they are now. Just thought everyone would like to see some pics.
