RUBY'S 7th Birthday!

Ruby invited her 1st grade classmates over for her 7th Birthday Party. The theme was the 'Land of Sweets' and there was enough candy to keep these little ones up for days. We hosted this party as a 'sleep-under'. Guests arrived in their sleepwear for activities including a screening of 'Snow Buddies' in the attic! Then everyone went home, well past their bedtimes.

Everybody gathers for a necklace candy-making activity

Snowy Times

Mommy and Daughter on the lift chair on the way to skiing adventure...

Buds on the sled - hows that little guy?

Snow angles appear

All together now at the woods house - smile!

Still enjoying the sled times - in a fantastically knitted hat by Grandma Susie

Hot Coca anyone? Ruby likes hers.

And we use ski pole for the very first time!

Yes, that's right, poles! Ruby showing off her schussing position.

Tubby Time - In Black and White (1 year old)

A happy place

Leave the water behind

To dry off...

To have some rowdy fun

Bye Bye
