Please excuse the glut of photos; we purchased a new camera and have been awefully snap happy recently! Jeff, who normally never even picks up the camera, has taken more pictures in the last 1 1/2 weeks than the last year... Every once in a while, we even take a picture that makes us look like we know what we're doing (which we do not)!
Just hanging out at home.
Nora loves to wash the dishes, if only they didn't need to be rewashed every time.
She'll even wash the floor if you ask her to. Unfortunately she is using the washcloth generally reserved for her face.
We have somewhat intentionally shielded Nora from the knowledge that Starbucks serves hot chocolate (and that nearly every restaurant has chocolate milk). She loves chocolate as much as her parents! An afternoon walk to Starbucks last weekend found us with Sophie in tow, who is well aware that Starbucks offers delicious treats for kids too. Since Nora mimicks every one of Sophie's moves, we had to get her her first Starbucks. She drank every last drop and will remember it is there each and every time we go back! Good thing it's only occasionally.
As previously mentioned, we drove UT to spend the Thanksgiving weekend with Jeff's parents and brother. We have so much to be thankful for, and really enjoyed our weekend there. We couldn't have asked for a better traveler, once again Nora shocked us with her perfect behavior strapped in a car seat for 7 hours each way!!
Thanks to ski equipment from Rich and Carol's friends, Nora had the opportunity to ski three days at Snowbasin! That's three more days of skiing than her parents have done this year. I'm not sure who had more fun, Nora or us adults watching her and taking (many) photos!
The first day, she wasn't so sure about it and didn't want to stand up to support her weight. She started whining, and the whole thing lasted about 5 minutes.
So, we went home and got sled rides from Uncle Scott instead.
And walked around the neighborhood while Carol worked a holiday shift.
It seems we have a photo of Nora playing PlayDoh with everyone these days!
Nora kept looking at the chairlift and telling us she wanted to go on there. We weren't sure she was ready, but eventually gave it and she went for a ride with Papa. As he glided her down, she said 'Papa go fast!'
Nora cuddled with Nanny all weekend, including in the lodge.
Day three of skiing was even better. She got a style upgrade when Nanny bought her these crazy cute goggles!
She took two rides on the chairlift, and even went down using the Hookease both times!
All this skiing leaves a girl tired!
We also got up close and personal with some chickens that Nora had met last fall while staying with Nanny and Papa.
In addition to all this outside fun, we also saw a holiday parade in Ogden and ate lots of turkey (and the fixings too.) We're home for just a week, then it's off to Florida for a week! It will be a while before I can post those pictures, but there will be many I'm sure.
Happy Holidays!
