Making a hut with our Umbrellas!!


Abbi is all about making huts.  She thought it would be a fun idea to make a hut using the umbrellas that they got for Christmas.

Aubree is always ready for an Abbi adventure so she quickly went, well as soon as she had her awesome Snow White socks on, and got the umbrellas and opened them up so they were ready.

The girls quickly realized that it would be much funner to surround Benjamin with their umbrellas and make a hut around him.  He loved starring at all of the colors that he was seeing around him.  The only problem was that Abbi couldn't fit in there with him and she was very bummed out.

Yeah for sledding!!


Sledding...Whoot Whoot.  We decided to go sledding the saturday after Christmas.  The sleds have been sitting in the garage since Santa brought them last Christmas so we decided we better put them to use.  Abbi has been wanting to go forever.  We headed over to the amphitheatre at Silver Lake to go down the big hill.
 

Jake sat on the bigger tube with Aubree (who giggled all of the way down the hill), and held on to Abbi with the other hand.  Man we have a talented daddy and husband!!


The girls had a blast.  They wanted to go over and over and over again.  Aubree thought this was the best thing that has happened to her since she had mashed potatoes for dinner. 



When you get to the bottom of the hill you run right into hay.  Doesn't look much like winter at the bottom but makes it so you don't hit your head on a pole or hit the back of the cement amphitheatre.



Benjamin and mom got to hang out in the car.  I didn't mind it much sitting in the car instead of being in the cold but it sure looked like a lot of fun!!



The girls went down a couple times by themselves with a little push from dad after one of the tubes went flat after one time down the hill.  Overall it was a ton of fun, the girls had a blast.  'One more time'  was Aubree's words over and over again until we could convince her that it was time for lunch.
