January was a great month! We took an Olson Family vacation to the Wisconsin Dells, Christmas Mountain! We got to ski and swim and just relax and have a great time! Ben got to go snow tubing for the first time- the first time he was a little scared...but as soon as he got to the bottom he loved it! The next two hours were spent going up and down the run! The cabin we stayed in was in a great location for "kid size" sledding right out the front door- Ben, Tommy, Nora (and sometimes Jonny) would go down the hill over and over again! So much fun! January also brought about rambunctious kids (who isn't in the middle of winter) and, after one play session, Ben & Tommy bonked heads...resulting in a black eye for Ben (his first!)
February brought Tommy's THIRD birthday! We had a little party for him with several of his friends and then we went up to Goodhue to have an impromptu sleepover party with Cousins Patrick and Nora! They have such a great time together- playing and sharing and lots of pancake and coffee making in Nora's play kitchen! To help celebrate Tommy's birthday, Ben & Aunt Carrie made home made ice cream! YUM!!!
