Our Trip

This is Hokkaido..it was the first snow we had seen all winter and there was definitely a lot to be seen...it was also the opportunity for Ariana to experience a lot of firsts....
first time on snow - she was not thrilled.....
first time being chauffeured around by her big brother - this she loved...


first time in a sled - she got the hang of it and her initial dislike of snow turned into love......

especially when it came to the eating of said snow.. ..

first time in pigtails. Her hair is finally long enough for at least some of it to be put up and she found this extremely funny. After I was done, she would ask to be picked up so she could look at herself in the mirror....

Oh yes, and the first time on skis, thanks to baba. In ski boots two sizes too big, she was fearful at first, but then began to like it and as he took her up and down the small hill, kept asking for more.

I'll write more in the next few days about the trip, but I thought you would be anxious to see the little snow bunny....
