Silliness with Grandma Frye

Skylar was eating pretzels with Grandma Frye...Grandma decide to eat one herself and Skylar went for it...

Cross Country Skiing

We got new cross country skis this year from Mom & Doug, (THANK YOU, such an incredible gift we have had SO MUCH FUN). There are some really incredible trails around Caberfae and we had a great time adventuring around them. We took Buster with us and he was in heaven, he thought he owned the woods running all over like a crazy dog!

Winter Snow Fun

Skylar got to get out and play with her cousins a little bit. Grandpa Frye made them all new sleds, mounted on old skis they are so awesome. Skylar really loved just getting outside and taking in the sites!

He is so funny...

my dad was reading to Skylar Christmas afternoon and she was just cracking up...what a precious moment!

OMG...I think I just won $10K....

So I really wish this was on live video because you would all be falling off your chairs...Chris and I decided to play a little Christmas joke, our victim, Ali. So in one of her presents we put a lotto ticket (a guaranteed winner). She was scratching it off and she was like oh a $10k, another 10K, seriously another 10K...does that mean I won...Cam grabs it from her and was so serious, looking it over, ya you won...no way! Then Ali grabs it back and was like is this for real I can't believe it, then she flips it over and starts reading the back of the ticket....the first line reads: this ticket is valid only in your dreams....

Good Laugh...Love it!

On another note....a few days later I get a call from Haley ( who was not with us on Christmas because she was in Mexico) she was telling me how she stopped by Dad's house, found the ticket and ran down to Ali's room to show her that Dad had won $10,000....so easily fooled:)

Sky with Grandpa Hansen

We had a wonderful holiday up at Caberfae...a big thank you to both of our families for allowing us to break past traditions and begin new ones:) Grandpa Hansen came and celebrated with us on Christmas Eve and was there for Santa presents and stockings in the morning. Then Christmas afternoon we had the pleasure of having Grandpa Mueller, Aunt Ali and Uncle Cam. Then Christmas evening we up the road through the woods and down the hill to Grandma & Grandpa Frye's, where we celebrated with most of the Winquist Clan. (we missed you Heidi, ,Martin, & Parker).
Skylar was a trooper through out the day, she was very OVER STIMULATED and only squeezed in one 30 min nap so needless to say as the evening wore on she was a little drained (crawling zombie). She was very funny opening presents, the first one she really got into but was so excited about the plastic Nemo bath toys Santa brought she did not have much interest in other presents!
As usually we had a FANTASTIC time; some great laughs (see post on FAke Lotto Ticket), Incredible food, and many wonderful memories were made! We are very blessed and this time of year is a great time to remember our many wonderful blessings!!

anytime now...

She will be walking, she is so close! She walks around with everything...the other day I was getting ready and looked into the hallway and she was pushing the chair from my desk down the hall. She will let go of furniture and stand but as soon as she realizes she is not holding on she drops to her knees. She will also walk with you just holding onto one of her hands...I think by her 1st birthday she will surely be walking!

like her mom...

She is already totally into phones, guess she is a little like me:)

Happy... & not so much...

funny how things can change in a matter of seconds :D~ She has quite the attitude if she is not getting what she wants!!!

On Sunday we braved the weather and traveled down to Portage for a wonderful afternoon with the Winquist-Frye Clan...Scott & Deb prepared an awesome meal and were gracious enough to let us all hang out for the afternoon (let's just say with 4 under the age of 5 it was a little more kaotic then they are accustomed to:D) As always Ashley & Chelsea were a huge help with the kids.
