Highlights of the Sledding Trip
You probably had to be there, but this was about 10 times more fun than it actually looks.
Snow Angels, as requested.
Dallin Rocking Out.
Kaitlyn after a hard ride still has the composure to pose for the camera.
The ensuing event of Katie crashing on her face was the best laugh of the day. Its probably not hard to tell from the look on her face that, in her mind at least, death is a possibility. As the following picture shows well:
Rylie Jean Barton.
Mike is taking Jenna down the hill on a sled and they are getting clobbered. Jenna is under all that snow with a ski hat pulled down over her face.
Braum spraying a commercial for the Cowboys.
Jenna is the image of snow bunny.
Here is a picture of Cade, the boys and Mcks cousin. He is a cutie.
Our Sledding Trip
If you click on these pictures you can see a much bigger version and "save as" (after right clicking to upload to your computer. You are then able to print it if you want a hard copy. FYI.
Although you cannot tell from this picture, Maegan's tail bone hurts.
We may have found something Lincoln likes more than wrestling.
We may have found something that makes Truman tired.
Another Video
It turns out that we lost momentum on this one. It was fun to start, but after a few hours on the computer just gave up and finished the thing. Carry on.
Another PIcture from the Back Yard
This is in our neighbor's tree. We are impressed with it and think it is a little better than the icicle picture. We have plenty more of this Young Scrub Jay. Its left eye is actually missing...probably pecked out in the nest...Anyways. Pretty fun, we thought.
Cousin Christmas Exchange
Since all the siblings are trading names, we thought it would be fun to have cousins trade names as well. So here are the results...
Caleb to Truman
JoAnn to Jefferson
Kate to McKinley
Will to Hinckley
Hinckley to Kate
Leah to Lincoln
Lincoln to Caleb
Truman to Will
Jefferson to JoAnn
McKinley to Leah
We are excited to have Jeff and Courtney in the mix now, cause it used to be more boring to trade names with me and Kath:)
Here are the rules...and if you have better ideas, please let me know!
1. Each gift must $5 or under. The point is to have the cousins remember each other and know they are thinking of each other at Christmas, so really it is the thought that counts.
2. Once the gift is opened you must take a picture of the recipient with it and blog their reaction/thank you so the giving cousin can see.
3. Finding these gifts cannot add stress to your Christmas season.
We will send our gifts with Sarah and you can send yours back with her so you don't have to worry about mailing them unless you want to get them here for Christmas. (If that's ok with you, Sarah:) Kath and Courtney can decide together so we get the gifts at the same time for everyone.
Gift ideas...character bandaids, coloring/craft things, t-shirt, game/cards, book, cars, toothbrush, etc. You know the little things that kids love.
Our Christmas Video
Sorry I don't get on here and make more of these. They sure are fun but take a lifetime. Anyways, carry on and hopefully you can turn this video on a few times over the holidays. Go cougs.
