Christmas Eve - Sledding

We were lucky to have a white Christmas and because of that we got to start a new tradition of sledding on Christmas eve. We went to the local high school and saw half our ward! We did the slow gradual hill for a while and then Megan thought it would be fun to go on the short steep one. Another family was leaving, and they had made jumps for this crazy hill. Bad IDEA! The girls had fun, but us older adult's bodies couldn't take it. Kurt did the hill first to made sure it was safe, but because he was the one person on a two person sled, he biffed it on his back right after the jump. Ouch. He pulled it together and took the girls, which worked much better with the weight spread out. My problem was trying to get back up the hill. It was steep, slick and I had CRAPPY walmart boots. So I would get half way and then BOOM, down I would go back to the bottom. The extra problem was that I had to tote the girls up with me since they couldn't do it themselves. Fun times. We were so tired, which came in handy later that night when it was bedtime.

Alexis is sardined between Lauren and Kurt. She loved it! She looked just like the Christmas Story little brother. " I can't pu tmy arms down"

Lauren and Kurt. My Camera lens kept closing, so I had to hold it open with my finger, which is what that blob is in the corner. It looks as though Kurt and Lauren are about to hit some freaky thing.
