January Jaunts

In January Gabe participated in a "little tykes" golf tournament.  there wasn't an real competition, but the set up 18 Disney themed holes at a park and gave them all a set of plastic golf clubs and they got to play at each hole.  He had fun, but I think he thinks he's too good to play with Disney characters and other kids.  He wants mteal golf clubs (dad's size, not even kids!) and real courses...
 Lucia was just too young to make the age cut-off, and was annoyed she didn't get her own clubs.
We had our carpet replaced in January, and when I put Lucia's bed back I decided to leave the sides off - in preparation for a big girl bed.  Gabe thought it was fun to lie down with her...
 She fell out of the bed several times before we just put her mattress on the floor.
 For New Year's, we rented a cabin in Pinetop with the Hidalgo, the Reyna and the Larrietta families.  We really had a fabulous time.
 The men enjoying the comfy couches and...
 the women cooking - as per usual.
 Lucia all dressed for the snow, but preferring chocolate milk and her blankie instead.
 Gabe LOVED the snow - we couldn't keep him out of it.

 All bundled, ready for more play.
 Gabe, Lucia, Daniella and Allison playing outside.
 Mario, Elmer and Daniel grilling.
 Mario concentrating on the game.
 We also played dance dance revolution on the Wii, and I've never laughed so hard in my life.
 Big belly pregnant and dancing anyway!
 Mario thought if he dressed ridiculous it would distract from his not-so-mad dance skills...
 We played lots of games,

 as did the kids
 build snowmen
 Mario tried snowboarding.  I don't think he'll try it again...

 Bring lunch to the snowboarders before we head off to sled.
 Hanging out in the cabin.
 My sledding down a steep hill, on top of Mario, on top of a huge inner tube, 7 months pregnant, explaining to Gabe that no, he cannot ride on top of my belly.
 New Year's dinner
 The whole gang.  What a great way to spend New Year's - we need to make it a tradition!
