The start of Jack's winter break was a hit (in more ways than one.) After this, we changed the sledding course to a less steep angle with a wider gap between trees...Call it Darwinism or the miracle of Christmas, but this incident made us realize that we definitely needed helmets in this terrain. It further confirmed my standing as "mother of the year."
We spent the first week of Jack's winter break up in the mountains and it was fantastic, we got there just ahead of a snow storm that left us with a few feet of snow and a good base for skiing. I managed to squeeze Mak into the same fleece one-piece Jack had worn when he was a baby (one of the few things I kept) so she was somewhat weatherized to have fun in the elements and loved it.
Jack's friends Conner and Olivia came along with us for the week and it was a blast. We always had to have our guard up because we never knew whether we would be assaulted by a barrage of snowballs or not.
We were also joined by Mak and Jack's Uncle and Auntie who showed up with a new fleece for Makena in girl colors. 
This could have been a good alternate holiday picture but given the speed at which I operate these days, our friends and family would probably have received it around Valentine's day.
Is - slowly surrendering to the invasion of pink in my life...
