Despite the lack of snow this winter, we visited Tahoe twice. The kids didn't know any better to mind the frozen snow, and they still had a great time.
The nice thing about frozen snow is that they are frozen and you don't have to worry about getting your socks wet. The kids learned to walk on them carefully. During this visit though, both Renee and Max got frustrated with the slippery surface at one point and start whining. Again, it was a lot easier to calm down Max than Renee.
We made a 'snowman' to our best capability.
Teeth brush ritual has become much easier these days. Max is even interested in the process such that he insists on putting on the toothpaste and brush a bit before letting me take over.
The grandparents bought a princess bike for Renee. We live in a hilly area. After learning about how the brake works on this bike, I caught Renee. She learned it pretty quickly and was able to bike 3.7 miles with me jogging on her side one Sunday afternoon. I think that will become our weekend routine now.
Renee is really getting a hang of puzzles. Here is another puzzle that she got as holiday present. It contains three parts with different sizes of blocks. She could really focus and finish them one by one. She is not even frustrated by the smallest size anymore. One thing makes me happy now is that she is aware of time to go to bathroom now.
During the last week of the year, we rented a house with three other families and stayed somewhere around homewood for three nights. Due to the lack of snow, I didn't get to snowboard. I wanted to take the kids to snow parks anyway.
Here is Renee playing king of the hill. Max was also able to climb with his sister half way up.
