basement

 snow snow snow and more snow. we have had a lot of snow this year. and we have been trying to make the best of it.  grandma and papa rented x-country skis and snow shoes for the kids. they were lots of fun and the kids loved being able to adventure in the woods.

we have been sledding lots and even found a new hill that i'm sure we'll see again before the winter is over. 

"Miles - don't eat the snow"

And it wouldn't be winter with out more ice fishing. we traveled to little sebago for a day of fishing with cousins at Nana and Gramp's camp. a fun day topped off with a huge bass. 

During December and January, Natalie tried a new sport - cheering. she had a blast and here are a couple of pictures from the tournament that she participated in. She's in the. She's the cute one with black shorts, heart shirt and blond hair!

we needed more space. and i was not going to move to a new house - so we looked at the basement.  we are not completely finished yet. still have some more painting to to - but it looks great. the kids have already started to sort through their toys and move things down into the new room.
