All Kinds of Wintery-Christmasy Things

Rhett, Colton, Tory, and Michelle came to spend Christmas with us a little early. We had so much fun! The boys taught Arabella how to go sledding, they all made gingerbread houses, and played more games of hide-and-go-seek than I can even count! What a great weekend!

This is Arabella sledding down the hill... she is so little, she just FLIES down the hills!
My angel making a snow angel
Sledding makes me happy!
It was very hard for Bella to walk in the deep snow... it went up to her thighs!
Last week Dave and I decided we would take Arabella ice skating for the first time. We went to the Brenton Outdoor Skating Plaza in downtown Des Moines. She loved it. She even has her own ice skates (thanks to a hockey family that thought she should have skates last year - they FINALLY fit her now!)
Daddy spent lots of time trying to teach Arabella to skate
Having fun skating with Daddy - she looks so happy!
"Skate me faster Daddy!"
Taking a cocoa break with candy canes!
Arabella and Mommy - chilly noses!
"I looooooove skating!"
Having so much fun!
They had a mini zamboni and Bella really wanted to ride on it!
Not a happy camper because we had to leave... we promised we'd come back soon!
