It has started the same way for years. After sledding, Mark climbs to the top of the snow pile the plows made cleaning up the parking lot. Before long, one of the kids attacks him and a fight starts.
Eventually, someone makes it to the top and becomes the King (or Queen) of the Mountain!
Until the next time sledding….
We have been enjoying the many birds at our feeders the last few days.
The weather is supposed to be very cold this week. With the wind chill, most of the week it will feel like we have negative numbers.
We always celebrate our family Christmas after Christmas. We do not have a set day, but “Santa Claus” stops by sometime as he heads “out on his vacation”.
Last night, after opening our presents, we enjoyed finger foods, spiced apple cider the kids made and froze this fall and home made egg nog. We also watched old movies with a projector the kids pitched in and surprised us with.
Happy 2018!
It is cold enough to experiment with frozen bubbles!
We enjoyed celebrating Christmas at Oma and Opa’s house this year. Each of the younger cousins were given a sock monkey similar to the monkeys their daddies received from their aunt when they were younger.
When Megan noticed how much snow we had, she told me that it would be a lot of fun go sledding. She said it was Christmas and everyone would be home opening presents and she really wanted to go sledding with Daddy and Mark while they were home.
So we got everyone ready and were the first ones at Oxbow sledding this morning. We enjoyed playing in the snow for about an hour before deciding we needed hot chocolate.
What a fun way to start our Christmas this year!
(More pictures to follow soon!)
Have a wonderful day celebrating our Savior’s birth!
We decided to see what we could do with Christmas lights tonight.
