New Year - Same old Snow

More snow fell to kick off 2017... We got almost a foot of new snow overnight!

We took to the local hills for some snow play (just down the road from us).  Here is a view from the top of the hill we were on.  Our house would be off the right side of the picture about a city block length and across the street.


Charlie tried snowboarding for the first time today.  He just strapped on a board and took off down the hill.  We were very impressed at his first attempt.  Here are a few videos of him figuring out which stance he likes best.  These are from his first run down.



Charlie didn't want to leave and begged to keep trying to snowboard to get better and fall less.  He made about 3 or 4 runs down the hill.  Lukas also had a blast sledding.  Here's a picture of the family (minus Charlie since he was on his way back up the hill to take his next run).  What a fun start to 2017!

Big like Daddy

Lukas wants to be big like daddy and decided he needed to shave too.  It won't be too long before he'll be doing this for real.  (sob)
