Spring Break - Staycation Style

After a few gorgeous, snow-filled days in VT and a road trip day yesterday, K and M hung out at home today. 

Cupcakes were the order of the day!

Back on Skis

Day 2 on skis - did a lot of "scooter" style shuffling around on one ski. 

Then, we got one nice stretch of about 15 feet of gliding. 

Once she did that, she said, "Ok. I'm good. We're done."

So, yeah, we rented full-on ski gear for 45 mins. :-)

Totally worth it!

Happy Holi Day

A classmate of M's is 1/2 Indian and her Mom has been great about introducing foods, festivals and stories to the kids. Today is a prime example - Holi!

Holi is apparently a festival of joy in which the spring / agriculture is celebrated. We do this by getting together and throwing all kinds of colored flour on one another. You can imagine how much 3 year olds LOVE this.

Thanks to Daddy for the big white shirt. M had a blast!

Vermont!!!

K and M are up in VT for a weekend trip with the C family of Boston. So...much...snow! Literally mounds 10' high in front of the cabin. 

To kick off the weekend, we had a yummy breakfast at The Hatchery then did some grocery shopping. After some lunch, we went to a family favorite - Taylor Farm in Londonderry for a horse-drawn sleigh ride, a bonfire and some marshmallows. 

It is Maple Sugar Festival weekend, too, so we had to sample some syrup and - of course! - get a maple cremee. 

A wonderfully fun day was had by all!

T G I Almost Spring!

Hitting the playground for some fresh air. Happy happy joy joy!

1st Trip to the Disney Store...

...and we made it out in one piece!

M was great - love, love, loved all the Mickey stuff and was definitely overwhelmed at first - I think her exact words were "Oh my wow."

But, she got into a groove and proceeded to play with every toy for a few minutes over the next hour or so. 

We went in with the goal of getting out of there with ONLY two new pairs of PJs. We made it out with one pair of PJs and one small stuffed doll (Anna from Frozen, who M calls Princess Charmie as most of you know). So...a victory for both M and Mom. :-)

Here she is reveling in all the Disney glory when we walked through the door:

One after-effect -- she is now belting out (and I mean BELTING!) "Let it Go" from Frozen on a perpetual loop. Thanks, Disney.

All snow and no play...

...makes for NO February blog posts. Sorry guys! March is here and (hopefully!) spring is around the corner, so we will post more pics and updates. 

In the meantime, here's a few February M pics to hold you over. 

XXO,
