Elizabeth's Birthday Weekend

Okay, I am 40. Here are some pics of my birthday overnight (with girlfriends) at Chico Hot Spring.

 It would have been a perfect opportunity to use my good camera. But, right after this picture the battery died. So the rest were taken with my cell phone.

 Dinner was fantastic. What I could taste of it. This was the start of a wicked cold. Luckily, I could taste the wine, and the horseradish on the oysters. But, the subtle coconut and apricot flavors on the fish, nope.

 It was seven degrees on Saturday. Cold, but beautiful.

Emma goes sledding, while Lilly sleeps in car

Here are a few pictures of our recent outing to a sledding hill. It is just outside of town and the coverage is still spotty (note the grasses sticking out of the snow). Lots of kids were out though despite the thin conditions.

Lilly was supposed to get out with us for some fresh air, but fell asleep on the drive over. Not to worry, the car was 25 yards from the hill and Sid and I took turns making sure she was okay.

Emma had fun though! And her good friend Phoebe joined us as well.

"Graduation Day"

Who says second kids only get hand-me-downs. Lilly just graduated up to her very fancy, bought for her, Svan  high chair. Emma got through high chair eating in two high chairs we found by the side of the road...

Emma got to use it for a while, but graciously relinquished it yesterday to her little sister. Especially when it meant sitting in the big kids chairs.

Here is Lilly (in all her one-sock baby high chair glory):

 I wanted to find a picture of Emma at this age and put it in. There is definitely a sisterly resemblance going on here.

Snow in MT

On the first snow day of the season, I played in my first tennis tournament. Emma was a sport and went with me to watch my fellow team-mates play their doubles match. (I played singles). I lost, but it was a great game!

 Here Emma is in her new snow coat walking to the tennis "bubble/shed".

 Lilly is greatly enjoying the change of the seasons as well. We've been pulling out all of Emma's old baby things. Latest is the exer-saucer. Lilly loves it, even more than Emma did.

 Now she gets to boogy down with her sister. What a treat!

The entire Williamson family gets down together.
