Margaret enjoyed a morning at the local children's museum. Her favorite areas there are the vet station, and the farm area. She is all about the animals! And yes, that is something on her face in the one picture. She visited the face painting area and did it herself.
Addie and her best friend Moira each received a gift certificate from Santa for an American Girl overnight adventure at Silver Beach Center. They brought their dolls, pjs and sleeping bags, but I think that their was not much sleeping going on as tired as she was the next day. They had a blast enjoying carousal riding, curious kids zone, making picture frames and bracelets, and before bedtime they got to watch the Kit movie. They had a blast and woke up to almost being trapped there because of the snow!
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's super Margie!!! While Addie was gone Margaret worked on her power to fly. As you can see she loves flying.
As I said earlier, Addie was almost stranded at her overnighter because of the snow. When we went to bed it was just starting to snow, when we woke up we had at least 4- 5 inches. It has been snowing ever since and the 10 forecast doesn't show any breaks either! I think that as of last night when we went to bed we were up to 12 inches. Some places have a lot more the farther you go inland. When I drove Addie to her ski lessons I saw several vehicles in ditches including one truck that all I could see was a little sliver of the window and a dug out section of the tail light as well. It looked like someone dug the poor person out!
Addie also received a gift certificate for two free all day kid ski lessons at a local ski lodge. On Sunday I took her lesson of the year. By lunch break she had reached her goal of passing the test to move from the bunny hill to the intermidate hills and most importantly, the ski lift. She spent her afternoon mastering the big hills and the ski lift. She never fell while getting off the lift and by the end of the day she almost never fell while skiing down the bigger hills. The only problem (in her eyes), is that the day came to an end. She had such a great time she can't wait to hit the slopes again. The plan that I'll take her again on this Saturday. At the rate she is going she just might reach her goal of being a ski jumper by the time she is in high school. That will keep me busy praying and really hope that her guardian angel does have wings! He needs them to keep up with this ski chic. That's all for this week!
