'Tis the Season

We have been having fun celebrating the holidays. The kids can't wait until tomorrow! We went to Manti last weekend for some family Christmas parties. We had a great time visiting, playing games, sledding and of course eating. The only thing I got pictures of was the sledding. There is a great hill in Manti that you can drive up and sled down, it is over a mile long and you get going pretty fast. Max and Maddie weren't too fond of the snow spraying in their faces as you go down but they kept asking to go again :).

I had to sacrifice myself to get these pictures! I went ahead so I could get some pictures about half way down. I was going so fast that the only way I could stop was to steer myself into the snow bank!

Max and Bret, you can't tell by the picture, but they are going pretty fast!

On Monday for Family Night we decorated Gingerbread Houses (actually graham cracker houses). We got messy, and the kids got on a sugar high, it was great!
