odin has been cross country skiing for years and for years he’s been patiently waiting for us to get skis of our own. this year, he even wanted to visit santa to plea for him to bring us skis!

he delivered the skis, but didn’t bring any snow so it’s taken us awhile to get out and about.

how is it possible that i’ve never been cross country skiing before? it’s a lot of fun even though it seems to use muscles that have never been used!

and there was time for some awesome sledding too 🙂
