Christmas Break in Wisconsin

We spent part of our Christmas break in Oshkosh with Joe's side of the family. Here we are taking a horse drawn carriage ride through Menominee Park to see their fabulous Christmas lights.

Here are Sawyer and Peter (Sawyer's uncle) in the lower bunk of Peter's bunk beds. They hung blankets over the sides to make it a "tunnel", as Sawyer called it. He also loved to jump in it!

Snowmobiling Fun!

Joe went snowmobiling for the very first time yesterday. Here is my dad teaching Joe how it works, and then Joe flying through the fields outside my parents house. Next, Carrie and Joe went together. After much persuasion, Joe finally convinced Carrie to take Sawyer out on a slooooooow ride as well.

During the big snowstorm last week, Joe took Sawyer out for his first "snowventure". Sawyer was bundled up for the first time this season. They trekked through the snow on the playground and neighboring forest. Joe says Sawyer was really tough, even when he would trip over things in the forest he would get himself back up saying "ok, ok, ok..." (I'm ok). Here they are heading out, and when they came back in with red cheeks.

Sorry it's been so long since I've done any posts. Our internet hasn't been working, but now we're at my parents' house for Christmas break and have some time. Here are a few pics of the gorgeous tree in the main building at Notre Dame.

Sawyer's Oreo

This is what he did with just one half of an oreo... maybe he should've gone in his high chair?
