NYE Weekend with the Hansen's

To bid our adieus to 2011 we ventured up to Snoqualmie Pass to spend New Year's Eve with the Hansen family at their mountain cabin.  Makenna hadn't been exposed to snow since last year and it was clear that she didn't remember those experiences.  By the end of the weekend she was making snowballs and eating snow by the handful.  As per usual we had a wonderful time with the Hansens.  We drank great drinks, ate great food, enjoyed great company, & made some great memories. 

Taking a test ride on Hayden's snowmobile sled.

Posing in the snow drift that surrounds the ski lift chair.

The girls (Hayden age 2 1/2 & Makenna 18 months) working together to clear the snow.

Picture with their snowman.  Makenna was busy eating the snowman's first nose.  :)

Getting ready to ring in the new year.

Time for a spot of tea.

CHEERS!

Sing a little song...

The first of 2012 and we spent it on the mountain skiing.  :)  Makenna & Evan played in the snow as I finished my first 2 runs.
