Sledding

The kids took advantage of the fresh snowfall over Christmas to go sledding at our favorite place, Happy Hollow. It was all good unless you ended up in the ditch filled with muck! Here's Cam & Ben in the ditch, luckily not in the muck.

Spencer was Energizer Bunny Sledder. He never wanted to stop!

Santa found us despite the unbelievers of the family, and he left us presents whether we deserved it or not! Cam could hardly wait to go snowboarding, but ended up with the flu for most of the Christmas break. Not fun! We're glad he's feeling better and is planning to go snowboarding with friends tomorrow.

Looks like Ben's ready to hit the slopes too?

Polar Express

Grandma & Grandpa took the whole family on the REAL Polar Express. It was so fun! It was just like the book. The kids pointed out it was NOT just like the movie (meaning, the train went really slow and there were no roller coaster parts). But we had a great time singing carols, eating cookies and hot chocolate, visiting with Santa and playing with cousins.

Santa brought everyone a real, jingly silver bell from the reindeer's harness. Awesome!

The elves came around and visited, told jokes and brought hot chocolate.
