Sledge race

It´s been snowing today so we went out in the afternoon. The lovely girl and I made a snowman. After that we had a sledge race between the lovely girl and the lovely boy. It was a draw :) But I think I was the big winner, i got today's dose of exercise by pulling them into their sleds.

The lovely girl trying to draw the lovely boy ....

The lovely boy is six months and he is now crawling around and discovering new things every day.

When the girls arrived at the train station, it was two Chauffeurs who were waiting for them. Guess if they were surprised! :)

Lisa and I met the night before and ordered it last. We baked cupcakes with pink frosting and sprinkles.

We also baked a New York cheesecake, which we ate for dessert. For dinner we ate Waldorf salad and chicken.
