So tired!

Contrary to what it appears, Lyra is not bowing down to the TV or Dora. She actually fell asleep this way one evening after a long day. It got really quiet so I looked over and said,"Lisa, what is Lyra doing? Is she sleeping?!" She slept that way for about 30 minutes before I moved her to her bed. For the past 6 months or so her napping has been hit and miss. We usually only give her a nap if she is extremely grumpy, otherwise it is very difficult to get her to sleep at bedtime. On some days, she ends up just falling asleep wherever she is, usually in the car or watching a movie, but it has never been quite in that position before. Looks like she is almost doing a yoga child's pose, which often makes me want to sleep too. 

A little snow

This winter has not brought much snow at all for Twin Falls, so we jumped at the chance to go play in the snow at Magic Mountain a few weeks ago. Donna and Tony invited us to go with them and take the kids on the tubing hills. My first time down the hill with Lyra I felt like I was on a roller coaster the way my stomach dropped, but it was super fun.  I was happy that the girls were not too afraid to try it, although Lisa definitely lasted longer than Lyra. It was nice that they have a lift system that pulls you up the hill in the tube so you don't have to walk up. Afterward we all had hot chocolate before heading home. It was so sweet of Donna and Tony to treat us to such a fun day.
