Dashing through the snow...

After opening gifts, letting the girls play with some new toys, skyping with the Spain/Gerkens and Juliet's nap, we headed outside to do some sledding. It was fairly late in the afternoon by the time we were all suited up and out at the sledding area and it was just starting to snow and the wind was picking up. We borrowed a sled from the resort and headed out. Here was the best run of Peter and the girls; I was trying to figure out the best place to stand so that I could capture them on video well, as well as keep out of their path and any other sledders. The mic really caught the wind; it wasn't as bad as it sounds. It was getting cold though. And Peter forgot his gloves so he was wearing mine and my hands were getting really cold trying to video them. Brrr!! To get the video to fit on the blog I had to trim more than half of it. The first 30 seconds was spent trying to get Claudia to move back further. And I need to learn not to walk when I'm videoing; that's why it gets so jumpy at times...

In fact, Claudia and Peter stayed out at least another 30 minutes. Juliet and I headed inside and went to the kids craft zone. And while I hate seeing any photos or videos of Juliet with her Fifi, we've learned that it's the best way to get her to stay out in the cold. And boy was it getting cold!

Merry Christmas!
