New Years Eve, Boyne Mountain, and Skiing

We traveled up to Boyne with the Pridgeons for New Years Eve and New Years Day.  The girls actually did much better in the car than I expected (maybe because we switched Liv's car seat to forward facing?), but they did not sleep well once we were up there.  Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

This was probably our most low-key NYE ever.  As in, we watched the MSU bowl game, and the only people still awake at midnight were Matt, Bill and I.  The game was such a downer, it sort of ruined the rest of the celebration.

little State fans:)

Kate really wanted to go skiing again, so she and Matt spent as much time out on the slopes as they could on New Years Day.  She loved it! And she's getting so much better! She was able to balance more and hold her own weight by holding onto one of Matt's poles instead of being between his legs. We are so proud!

Liv and I hung out inside.

On New Years Day, we went for a horse-drawn sleigh ride down at the Lodge.  We were the only ones on our ride, so the driver let Kate come up on the bench in front and help him 'drive'.  She thought it was pretty awesome.
