Happy New Year

We had a fun filled weekend with Friends. Sean, Sarah, and Skyah came up from Portsmouth and Tessa, Seth and Aven came over from Woodstock. We were all hoping to ski but we had no such luck. So the guys crossed biked and the girls went for an awesome New Years run to start our training for the half marathon we all signed up for in June. It was a great time and all the kids were so good.

Group picture.

My girls teaching Skyah and Aven how to do some "mud pie" with the pillows.

Sprints in the dorm hallway is always a good way to get some energy out.

This is up at the OB cabin New Years Eve where we had 14 Adults and 8 kids playing and eating Fondue. It was an adventure. The kids mostly played in the bunk beds.
Bella being good and staying out of the way! We have her for the month of January and so far so good :)
The stroller parking lot outside the cabin.
One fondue set.

The other fondue set and a lot of other yummy food.

After the dust settled the girls just wanted books read to them. Too cute.

There is a cabin out on the ski trails here at school. It is a great destination to get to with the kids. Here are Mabel and Hannah with Ben at the OB (outback) cabin.
