Ice Hockey over Christmas
As I look outside at our 3 degree weather I think of how balmy Christmas was. Here are some great action pictures Sarah A. took with her new Christmas present. 
We spent a lot of our time outside playing on the ice because there were too many of us to comfortable be in the house. Here Ben, Jesse, Sam, Chad, and Lily get ready for the pass.
Heres my very graceful move. The next picture would show me on the ground with a huge bruise on my knee. I had to ask for goalie duty after this.
Here's my approach before the fall.
Andrew and Jesse fight for the ball. Are we playing soccer or hockey?

House Update 1-1-11
We now have an entry stair, sort of. It's coming together. Since these pics the roof has been put on and all the electrical and plumbing are almost complete. So exciting!
On Christmas Eve, we stayed at the boat house so I saw the windows and front door for the first time. Much to my dismay, I noticed that the windows were the wrong color (tan instead of white) and the front door is missing the dentil shelf (the little blocks that line under the windows). It's a craftsman thing. Anyways, I was very distraught since our color scheme was to be gray with white trim. After negotiations the company agreed to credit us back almost half the cost of the windows to keep them. I think I can change the house color with that kind of incentive.

The boys wanted to go explore since they hadn't been back since it was a hole in the ground. Now that there are staircases they can. They are about to go down into the basement.
