Janelle's birthday weekend!

We went for a winter adventure this last weekend for Janelle's birthday with our new and improved family. Going to a new place with an infant is quite the experience. Some of you may not know but the Lord has been faithful and has helped us help Caleb to sleep through the night! We were a bit scared about testing his abilities in a new environment, but again, He was faithful.
Our adventure took place at John's families cabin up in Shaver Lake. The night we went up there, snow came! There hadn't been snow for quite a while, so this was a wonderful surprise. In the morning, we woke up to a beautiful, new blanket of snow. We bundled Caleb up in his Super Duper warm outfit and went on a walk. Oh yeah, and don't forget Addie, she LOVES the snow!

BTW, that isn't a muzzle on Addie's nose, just a super training collar that makes it impossible for her to pull, a necessity when trying to manage her and a stroller simultaneously!
Matt falling down - good thing he didn't wake up Caleb!
Addie continually loses sticks in the snow since they would just fall through the super soft, fresh powder. We eventually landed ourselves this great stick and she never lost it:)
A Winter Wonderland!
Addie had snow all over her, including her belly hair. She ended up getting snowballs attached to all of her underside and it took a bit to get them off (see next pic).
We had to massage the snowballs while we had heat flowing on them. Needless to say, she had a bit of an impromptu hair cut before the next walk.Our sweet little boy! The red cheeks after his walk were just too much!
We decided that we all could go cross country skiing while Caleb napped. However we didn't want to stay in the cabin for that, so he just napped on Uncle John's back while we skiied. Uncle John is the best skiier, hence his safe back. And any guesses on Addie's occupation in the background? haha
She had 1/3 cup of butter the day before, oops!
We had sooo much fun skiing! This is Matt bombing down the hill:)
Then me of course!
Afterwards....Caleb is a bit grumpy since waking up from his nice schnooze. I wanted to put this picture in to show that he doesn't ALWAYS smile.
The other one was a great stick, this one however was great AND mighty! She never got this one thrown for her.
And, Matt falling down:)
The birthday girl!
