"Sledding" Fun!

Claire aced the dolphin ridin'

Cooper had a big ole spin out at the bottom of his runs...

and Emma hit a speed bump on the hill (all stunts performed in this scene caused no injury to any involved speed bumps).

All in all, it was a great North Carolina fun snowy weekend!

SNOW!!!

Horray for the weekend of snow! A weekend full of hot chocolate, movies, "sledding", and all sorts of Forced Family Fun (the old FFF, as we used to call it in the Keely household!)!

Warming up our toes by the fire... no more tozen froes!

Goodmorning Snow! (do you see us peeking through the window?)

The red-neck, southern sled... no point in purchasing a nice Flexible Flyer for the one time every eight years when we will get a day of sled-able snow. Just use what you've got! An inflatable dolphin will do just fine (after Mom and Dad popped the pink innertube going down together!)

FREE!!!!

Ha, Ha! I bet you were wondering where we were since the only posts since Christmas have been ALL about Emma.... Well, the truth is out... Mom and Dad store us in a box away from the fun and excersions of our big sister, but guess what?

We escaped! Now we are out of the box (almost), and lookout! Here we come!

Date with Dad!

So Dad, the Mad Hatter, wisked me away to Wonderland tonight. Mom lets me go out with the shadiest characters. Last year, it was the Lettersweater Guy, who quickly turned into the greaser and Mom still approved. This year, it was a crazy hat maker and Mom sent us on our way with kisses and no curfew... Awesome!

So off we go, in our Limo to Wonderland.

Where I played croquet with flamingoes and hedgehogs (thanks Johnny for the book so I knew exactly what this was all about!)...

and hung out with some pretty cool Alice's. This is my great friend Breeze.

Go, Cougars, Go!

Tonight was "Your Chance to Cheer" at Cannon, and all the little kids get a chance to cheer at the Varsity B-Ball games with the Varsity Cheerleaders.

"1, we are the Cougars, 2 a little bit louder, 3, uh oh, I still can't hear you..." yeah, uh oh is right!

I loved my chance to cheer... It was A. W. E. S. O. M. E!!!!

Merry New Year

For Dad's birthday, we went to the Japanese steakhouse where they cook in front of you. It was great!

Claire actually got the hang of chopsticks (sort of... note the falling zuchini)...

and we finished out the night with a Cookiepuss for Dad! What a great birthday for Dad... Oh, yeah and Merry New Year, too!
