Ah Vermont!

Well even though it was our new year's resolution not to get so far behind on the blog, here we go again playing catch up. It's so hard with all the great holidays photos! Today we are documenting the week after xmas spent in vermont. Sadly Maggie and Theo had to go home to attend to end of year estate planning (not ours!), but Elsie and Papa forged on without them. Here's Elsie in a great pink hat which was hand knit by aunt Annie:


And here she is in another hat with her beloved Grandpa Peter:


And here's Grandpa Peter serenading cousin Grady and Elsie on the flute:

Later on Thomas and Elsie take a bath..


We did a lot of outdoor exploring up in the woods of VT. Elsie liked to wear snowshoes:


Checking out the well, shortly before Grandpa Peter dropped the heavy lid down on the children:



A sleigh ride with Aunt Laura, Uncle Dave, Cousins Thomas, Jaxon, Grady, Marina, Grandma Susan, Grandpa Peter, Doug, Laurie, Aunt Nana, and even Great Grandma Gigi...


Thomas and Elsie have learned to make fake smiles:


marshmellows!



This was supposed to be a picture of uncle Dave going over a jump on a sled:


Baby Theo was sure glad to see sister Elsie when we got home, or was she?
