Stamps Family Winter Olympics

Today Debbie and Jerry held the 2nd Stamps Family Olympics but this time it was winter sports...my favorite! The kids have been working with Poppa to make a bobsled for about 2 weeks and they were all very secretive about it---it was cute how excited they were! Maw Maw and Poppa had prepared 3 events for Team USA and Team America to compete (parents against kids)
First was the hockey shoot, then downhill skiing and then the (long awaited) bobsledding.
We started our Olympics off with opening ceremonies and the kids got to carry the torch which they thought was super cool:)
I got some great pictures so enjoy! Thanks Maw Maw and Poppa....yet again you out did yourselves!!! I am editing a movie of all of the events again this time so stayed tuned!!!

Abby spent the night with Maw Maw and Poppa last night and helped decorate for the family Olympics....she thought that was very cool! It looked great!

Bobsled that Jerry built with the Grankids---it actually went fast!!! (not that I doubted you Jerry--haha!)

Opening ceremonies passing the torch....carefully!:/

Debbie and Jerry the master minds behind this whole event!

I have always wanted to ski in the Olympics....looks like this is as close as I will get to ever winning a gold medal so I was just overcome with emotion;)
