Jessica's first ski lesson

During the afternoon on Christmas Day, Jessica took her first ski lesson with her cousin Nicky. Here they are getting ready to hit the slopes.



After some coaxing and practicing on flat ground, Jessica was ready to ride the magic carpet up the hill. Here she is going up with her daddy.



She took a couple of runs with lots of help from a hula hoop, the instructor, and either mom or dad.

Eventually, she used the hula hoop and adults less and less and was ready to go down the hill and do it again and again.

After her lesson, the ski instructor helped her make her first snowman. He even found her a carrot for a nose and raisins for eyes.
