A special treat

We were so thrilled that my sister KariAnn's husband, Uncle Chad, came to visit. He came all the way from Washington State on business and it was such a treat to have him. Who knew that even a less than 24 hour visit could be so great?

I was reminded how great we think he is

and how lucky we are to have them in our family.

The kids flocked to him, and have been talking like a "chubby bunny" ever since.

Our winter looked a little something like this-

A Snowmobile Trip to Kokadjo with fun friends.

Family Snowshoeing through the trails in our back yard.

Brad and Gary Sled down the road on our way to camp. (Bridgette's and my run was foiled by the truck that came along to sand the road. We met it half way down, and our sledding came to a quick end.)

Pugga took us all for rides on the lake, pulling the sleds behind the snowmobiles. A little different than our usual rides behind his boat. The kids LOVED it!

We have been baking (and eating our results!)

Beckham's been learning lots of big boy things.

We've had lots of play dates.

And now we are thinking about Spring!
