cross country with Indyana and Alli

Indy decided to ski today for the first time, cross country that is.  he did amazing-didn't last long but smiled and giggled in the pouring rain, yes rain not snow,  it was kind of my first time too, so i took a sled with me just in case indy decided he didn't want to partake anymore.  he lasted a good 30 minutes and off we went-him in the sled and me TRYING to trudge over dense deeeeep snow.  we found our way after an hour of being lost on no trail-sled tipping over with indy inside crying and cold...... and then i was lovin it got the motion down and glided around the forest, indy fell asleep-snoring actually.  he never ever never sleeps so it was a beautiful mom zen day. we do love winter.

XMAS and more

New Years Blizzarding Champagne

Xmas was great and very mellow/quite.  It was just the 4 of us.  On new years we went out to Jeremiahs House a good friend of ours who lives right behind the clark fork river, so since it was dumping snow we decided to have a bonfire party outside with an ATV pullin us in the sleds.  it was a blast!!!!(Mom's corking the champagne)  The lower pics are me making xmas dinner, my infamous THAI FOOd recipes.  Soups,curries, mangos/cucumber salads, thai chicken wings and all....funny thought i did not bake, well actually made cookies for santa which didnt last even up to that moment of him comin to our house...HE hE.  Tristan and Dada built an igloo in the back yard and it sure did hold up cuz it was 5 degress out there.
