Since Valentine's Day was on a Saturday this year we decided to take our 2 older kids skiing for the day. Emma had been begging all season to get to go skiing so she was very excited to go for her very first time. She did really well. It took us most of the morning to figure how to communicate with Emma so she would understand what she needed to do and by lunch she was done and told us she was not having any fun! We told her on her drive up that that was rule #1 while we ski was to always have fun. So we spent lunch trying to take her mind off of it and get her laughing and then went back out. After lunch something clicked and she was starting to get the idea of turning. We were so proud of her. Corbin of course worked on improving his turns and coming more out of the snow plow. I have was so impressed with both of the kids. They really did such a good job. Bode was able to spend the day with Grandpa and Grandma Liz. When we picked him up on our drive home Emma finally crashed in the car. Bode kept trying to talk to her but we just kept telling him that she was sleeping. I turned around to check on what was going on and Bode had reached over and had grabbed Emma's hand while she was sleeping and was holding it.
Skiing takes a lot of us so we ended up just getting heart pizza and watching a movie as a family. We talked a lot at the table about why we love each other and had to say one thing that we love about each of the members of our family. I sure am grateful for my little family and love each of them so much that it really makes my heart just swell with happiness!
