Happy New Year

A big storm led to New Year's Eve snowmen
We celebrated NYE Shabbat w/homemade challah
Happy New Year!

1st ski trip ever

S was a rockstar on the slopes
J was a bit more tentative
We all liked traveling to the hot tub in our bathing suits and boots...
And swimming while overlooking the mountain - fun!

Thanksgiving

We started Thanksgiving weekend with our annual trip to Bartley's



Then finished the gluttony at Aunt M's & Uncle T's...
with the return of Nanny B's jello-mold....
and a super duper train cake for dessert!

Halloween...under the sea

J wanted to be a scary shark (easy to buy) but S wanted to be a purple stingray which required a bit more ingenuity....luckily Poppy came to the rescue and created this super cool purple stingray costume
The full view is below
J on Halloween night ready to get his candy on...
