Kicking off the New Year like......

kicked of the year with all kinds of fun activities ! 

New Year's Eve sleepovers-

Olivia came to our place for food, movies, and some midnight treats. I am impressed I made it up that late! Brady went to Jace's for a group sleepover and had a blast playing all kinds of games. 

Jon and I laid low as he was getting ready to go on his bucket list trip to Baldface, Canada (15-year anniversary surprise) 

then I had a run with COVID!....after two  years, two vaccines and one booster, I still got it. And it knocked me out for a full two weeks plus! But all gone now , feeling much better and fingers crossed everyone stays healthy! 

Dance competition (hip hop and poms)- 

Next, we headed into the first of three dance competitions this winter/spring. Lylah and team rocked it, winning a most entertaining award for poms, two double platinum designations and top 5 finish for hop hip!  she is by far one of the best (in my humble opinion and so fun to watch!) 

Swim meet (rec team) -soon after, we headed to Brady's second rec team swim meet. He swam in five different events, which was the most he has done and did very well. He is learning a ton and seems to really enjoy it. It's a nice change from the team sports that he played for so long with soccer and basketball. next up will be high school swim team! 

Skiing -

and we finally fit in some family ski days over President's Day. Brady was able to squeeze in one day with the Barbics earlier and one night ski with Jon, but this Feb was our first time up as a family. we met up with the Barbics and had a great time as usual. Beautiful blue skies, warm temps (although some chilly wind) and no lift lines early in the day. we squeezed in a ton of runs, some hot tub time and a walk to town for Lylah and me.
