A mesage

 Hello,

It is 2021! Now that are are 2 months into it I am trying to be hopeful that there are still blossoms and and beauty in all the trials but 2020 was hard, but i am very aware that my privilegs and blessing made the last year really not that bad. We have had LOTS quality time as a family and the quantity of family time I know contributed to that as much as we have had difficulties with cabin fever and restlessness we have take opportunities to build new memories with family and friends along the way. I am setting a goal to backlog some of your special times in 2020 and create a record for a big addition project we are starting. We are adding 1,104 square feet to our home, a master suit and 2 more bedrooms. We are doing a majority of the work ourselves, the time table will be for most of this year with a few snowball projects following I am sure.

Some exciting notes for this month, we got a couple really great snowstorms, ski hill opened and Wyatt tackled learning to ski. 

We made rootbeer Hawaiin ice a couple of times with the fresh snow in our yard. The kids tried to talk me into storing some of the snow in the freezer so they could continue making this favorite snack.

 And this 3 year old dresses himself backwards more days then not, but he is so proud every time he gets dressed all by himself! Sure do love my Ryke-Star
