kevin and i awakened this morning and decided to make a mad dash to perfect north to get the kids on their skis. we were out of bed and out the door in about 45 minutes. not too bad considering all of the clothing and gear we needed! in the car, gavin said to me, "mommy, today is my first day skiing." priceless. i seriously think he's been looking forward to this for a year! there wasn't much snow at perfect north given the weather we've been having (it was all man-made snow), but it was good enough for some runs down the bunny hill for brooke and gavin. brooke picked right back up where she left off and was going down the hill and up the magic carpet by herself. gavin got right on his skis and was ready to go with daddy! he really is fearless. gavin skied all by himself (with his hands on his knees "like a football player") and kevin ran after him to stop him. there was never a single tear or a whine or a complaint. quite different than brooke's first time on skis! it was awesome to be out there as a family. we'll definitely be there a lot this winter, and i fully expect to have two great little skiers by the end of the season. maybe i'll even improve a little bit :)
this afternoon we went to randall, antje, lexi and kenzie's for cocoa and cookies. it was a festive and intimate after-christmas party with lots of yummy goodies. brooke and gavin opened their last! christmas presents (from randall and antje), and gavin was thrilled to wear his new construction worker costume to dinner :) brooke also insisted on taking her new bucket of perla beads into the restaurant, but thankfully she thought better of opening them.
