Winter Fun

We made it to the mountains the first weekend in January just before the crazy cold weather hit. Joe took Ivey to Beech Mountain to try out the town sledding hill. He was so excited and thought she was going to love it. She went with him once and did not want to go again. He convinced her to go again for Mommy and the camera. And he thinks he is going to get her on skis this year! Hmmm...

Julia graduated to the big tub. She loves to take a bath with her sister.
She starts out at the far side of the bath and scoots over to Ivey by the end.

Ivey's new seat for Joe's car. Julia inherited her old seat.
Ivey loves the cupholder and special places to stash her toys.

Merry Christmas 2013

We had an awesome Christmas.  It was fun to have little Julia with us for her first Christmas and Ivey was finally old enough to appreciate what was going on (for the most part). We had a busy week traveling to Badin Lake right before Christmas & Charleston right after Christmas. We were home Christmas Eve night and Christmas Day. Ivey walked right past the Christmas tree and gifts from Santa on Christmas morning to come see us upstairs. We told her we needed to go downstairs to see if Santa had come to see her. She thought Santa was actually in our house along with his reindeer. She also thinks Santa lives at the restaurant since that is where she visited him. She does at least understand that Christmas is Jesus' birthday.
