Risa's Wrap-up
I took the boys skiing and snow boarding last Saturday and enjoyed the only day of snow this winter (except for that wacky day of snow in October). I discovered a new place close to home, Thunder Ridge in Patterson, NY. We went with a bunch of friends and it was great fun! Joshua and Daniel sort of learned how to snow board (see a video of Joshua), and Ben really did learn how to ski! (see Ben's video.) I'm very proud of him. The boys can't wait to go skiing again, but now it's so warm out, I turned the heat off and opened the windows! I like winters like these. Catch you in two weeks!

Have a great week! Please keep in touch. Follow me on Twitter @jewishgiftplace, or on Facebook . If you send me a tweet, I'll tweet you back!
