FIVE!!

Happy 5th Birthday, Jacob Phillip Manning!  What a fun weekend we've had celebrating YOU!!  I don't know what we did for all those years before you came into our lives...but you sure were worth the wait!

Thank you to all our family and friends who celebrated with us, and to those near, far, and beyond who couldn't be there...and we miss terribly. WE LOVE YOU!

Winter fun!

Snow much fun in Vermont in the winter!

 Double score against Uncle Jonny!!

 First day with ski poles!!

 REALLY?!?!  LOL!!!

Enough cold!

My little green bean cutter, helping with dinner! :-)

Saturday we went to the Wonder Feet Museum for the first time.  Jacob loved it... especially the inclination station.  He played there forever!  After more than two hours, I dragged him out.  We'll be back!

Sunday we braved the temps and took at few runs at Pico followed by some snowmobiling.  Jacob started with a ride into the ditch!

Now we've all had enough with the sub zero temperatures!  Time for some nice winter temps and snow, please!

Wishing a Happy Birthday to Gramp Crippen!
