We have some crazy neighbors a few doors down that do the crazy-over-the-top Christmas light show in their yard. It wouldn't be so bad if they played Slayer like these guys.
I guess I have a new project next winter.
Ski school ended a few weeks ago and Madi is hooked. The smile on her face says it all.
Ready to tear it up!

Kind of long video but here's the break down:
1. Ethan gymnastics
2. Madi's daycare Christmas singing performance (they did many more songs)
3. Ethan going sans-Edgie Wedgie (see previous post)
More to come as the 2010 Christmas Madness continues!
Yesterday Ethan and I, accompanied by his granddad Jeff and my friend Rick Williams (who happens to be an all-around bad ass.)
Kind of lousy weather paired with marginal snow conditions made for quite a day on the slopes. We all had fun though but the big accomplishment for the day was when Ethan's tip holders (Edgie Wedgies) broke and he was forced to take a run without them. He was very apprehensive on the lift ride up but aced it on the downhill. It's a step up to the next level for him and we're proud of him for trying something he thought was impossible for him.
Ethan and Madi start ski school next month and I can't wait to see their progress. I gave a feeling Madi is going to pick it up very quickly as that girl has a lot of athletic prowess and balance…even for a 4 year old!
Madi has spent the pas few months practicing for her big Winter 2010 dance performance at the Civic Auditorium. What can we say, she had a blast and did awesome! Post recital dinner consisted of her favorite, Mac N Cheese, and a big fat hot fudge sundae. Way to go Mads!
He was a bit nervous beforehand but pretty much aced it once at the ivories.
