Winter Getaway

Sebastian and I escaped to the family cabin in the great snowy north to finish out February along with Papa, Grandma, Aunt Kristine, Uncle Dave and cousins Hannah and Caleb.

Sebastian's favorite activity was dragging a shovel everywhere he went...

We did manage to get him into a sled once in awhile...

And then it was back to pulling the shovel, this time along the sledding run. His cousins on the other hand, loved sledding!

Caleb got in on the shovel action.

Caleb, so happy to pose for the camera.

Hannah climbed the mountain at the end of the driveway!

Exploring buddies...

After awhile, one just wasn't enough...

Time out to make a snow bear...

Sebastian liked to take off exploring over the deep snow. He would stay on top, while I would sink to my knees.

I'm happy mommy

Always interested in what Papa's doing

Headstand in the snow fort?

We received some fresh snow today so Sebastian and I went out to the roof top garden to play. He had so much fun, I couldn't get him to come back inside. It's amazing what a difference a couple of months can make. I pulled him around the circle walk in his sled many times today. He enjoyed sticking his arm out and collecting snow as we went around. Previously he would only go around once or twice (or not at all) before asking to get off. He also gleefully walked through the few inches of snow, climbing up a hill to clear the snow off of various objects. Previously he needed help just walking through the snow. Sebastian made his first snow angel. He was excited because one of his favorite books depicts polar bears making snow bear angels. I also made snowballs that he crushed with great vigor.

Happy New Year!

We Celebrated New Year's Eve with friends at the US Bank Eve celebration. The kids had fun exhausting the parents by running through the crowds and attempting to get lost.
