We made our annual visit to Santa at the mall last week with Sam and Eli. All the kids did great except for Quinn who wouldn't even look at Santa let alone get near him. For some reason the Santa here won't hold screaming kids. Kind of sad. Meredith brought her official list with her and boy was it loooong.
The kids get story time with Santa when the photo printer breaks down!
This is our year 'off' from Christmas/New Years in McCall so we ventured up last weekend to see if there was any new snow. Nada, zilch, none since Thanksgiving. We went up to Brudage to see if there was any chance of skiing soon. Outlook is not good, darn it! We did throw in the sled at the last minute and hit the cat tracks. For some reason Quinn lostherfreakingmind and screamed the entire time if Jesse wasn't holding her. She is so weird about some things...I guess she isn't going to like the new sled Santa is bringing her in a few days.
Sometime the stars align and we have a great family outing where all the kids are super happy and have a great time and Jesse and I cheers each other to being awesome parents and doing fun things. This was not one of those times. Lot of whining, lot of complaing, lot of screaming.
Really, really mad that Jesse is not holding her. She wanted nothing to do with me.
Gave up on the hill and hit the steep cat track that leads down to the Centennial Chair. I have to say it was pretty fun! Delaney got to hitch rides on the way back up. You can't tell but Quinn is again losingherfreakingmind in this picture.
What a good Dad! We'll make'em have fun dammit!
Pretty ready to go home I think.
Super ready to go home.

Big girl in her cool new ski jacket.
Getting to be a big girl too.
More snow please.
Maybe we'll ski in 2012?
Throwing in the towel.
Time to go home. It was a good effort!
Ruby was there too.
