We had a wonderful time in MN visiting with the Garvin clan. We had plenty of snow and frigid temperatures. Here is a picture of me "sliding", as they call it in MN, on my rear. My brother Matt was our gingerbread man maker. He made them from a vegan recipe he and Katy had. They tasted just like cookies made from my mother's recipe.

Bella was the belle of the ball. Everyone enjoyed playing with her and she loved the attention. Ben got in lots of practice for when he and Beth have kids.

Bella also found plenty of ways to get some good sleep, but during the day! I'm so glad she's a snuggler!

Ben and Beth borrowed a swing and it was Bella's favorite activity. She was enthralled with the mobile and fell asleep every time we started the swing which is probably why she didn't sleep at night.
