Ice Skating at Frog Pond

Today we went to Frog Pond in Boston Commons for some outdoor ice skating fun...Hannah's first time. Sadly, the better ice skater (Mommy) isn't allowed to ice skate so the task was left to Daddy to teach her while Mommy took photos!

Such a nice day. Cold, but sunny!
A little shaky at first, but still smiles under all those layers.

Getting the hang of it...somewhat (that ice is slippery).

Taking a break to warm up with some hot chocolate.

And before we left, she asked to have her picture taken with the frog statues.

Sledding video

I took some video of Hannah's first sledding adventure. There really isn't any sound although you can just make out Hannah and Joe talking at times....

Happy New Year

We opted to stay in last night as it snowed all day and it was SO cold outside (our tradition is to go to Boston Commons for a 6p parade and 7p fireworks), but today we ventured out to take advantage of the snow. Although it was still cold (11 degrees)!!!

Getting ready to go out in the cold weather. She had put on her boots herself and was screaming...After Daddy took a few pictures, Mommy took the boots off and found the last pair of socks she wore with them stuffed at the toe (no wonder they were uncomfortable).

All ready!

We walked to a nearby hill for some sledding fun! Our new sled was a gift from Santa Claus and Hannah was very excited to try it out!

Let's go.
Sledding!
And back up the hill...over and over again.
Once we were all nice and cold, we walked home and had hot chocolate to warm up again.

On a different note, here's the latest belly picture at 7 months.
