Christmas Chairlift~

(click/tap to enlarge)

Son & twin grandsons on their nervy first ride.

Up & Away!

Subsequent rides were a piece of cake!

Soon, they’re laidback,

and shredding,

the bunny slopes,

with the big kids,

and having a blast!

Sending Cheers & Best Wishes to You & Yours in The New Year~

    The first time of anything is always scary. First time on a horse, whoa (no pun intended), that was scary though we were on ponies, not full-grown horses. I was shaky, my sister, Elizabeth, was crying. We got through that first time. While it seemed there would be no second time, there was and more.

    This is where a piece from the Klingon knowledge base comes in handy (H/T: Worf). “Anyone who is not scared is either a liar, or a fool.” Being a Trekker, I know you would appreciate this.

  2. Such precious twins! Looks like they’re well on their way to being comfy out there (I’d probably be terrified, ha!) Hope your holidays were wonderful, Cindy!

    1. Another year shared Gigi! So look forward to another one my friend.

    1. Smiling. The chairlift is scary at first, but gets to be fun too, after awhile. They even graduated to a higher lift on a more elevated slope.

  4. Loved seeing your grandsons and son on the slopes! 🙂 May God bless you and keep you in this coming year. (I think this is the first time I’ve seen your photography applied to humans, and such a personal subject–I like it!!)

    1. Smiling. Thank you Katie. God Bless you and yours.

    We wish you and yours a wonderful New Year full of happy moments, lots of joy and perfect health, Cindy

  6. All the best to you and yours. I think your twins are just a tad older than my twin nephews… who will be three next month!

    We did get to see our grands a couple of times during the holiday season – it is amazing how fast time flies! The elsest started High School! The youngest is into Field hockey. We don’t get to see all of those games though.

    We might be getting some snow this week end. But we aren’t ski-or ski-boarders. I might have to bundle up to do some shoveling though! (((Hugs)))

  7. How lovely. (I see many are wearing helmets… We wore woolen caps in “the good old days”, LOL)
    Thanks for sharing Cindy.
    best wishes to you and yours, hoping 2025 won’t be as bad as expected…
    🤞🏻
    (Fingers crossed is now my #1 emoji, first in line due to heavy usage…LOL)
    Be good.

    Haha – amazing how quickly something is transformed from feared to loved! Your photos bring this transition to life, very nicely.

    Nice to have a ‘peep’ in the family matters. I wish you all the best for 2025.

    (For the publications, I miss the “Like button”, so that I could give you more of a tap on the shoulders for your nice photographs.)

    1. Smiling. Thank you. WP has not been functioning well for my blog for quite some time now. I am very sorry you are running into this, but I very much appreciate you reaching out and letting me know. Take good care დ

  10. So good to see happy children! I am lucky enought to have got a little grandchild too. She is my sunshine. Wishing the world a better year 2025 than 2024 – and to you and yours all the best.
