Sledding on Christmas Eve!

In my family on Christms Eve we have gone sledding or playing in the snow up the canyon since I was quite small. For the last few years Marc and I have done the same with our kids. This year we went up Spanish Fork Canyon and had a blast! The snow was DEEP and the road was slick, but it was still a whole lot of fun! There was my mom and dad, my brother Ross and his family, and my cousin Scott and his family. After sledding we went to my mom and dad's house and had hot chocolate, and then clam chowder to warm up. Here are some pictures from our afternoon of fun!

This shows how deep the snow was................it came up to Shaylie's thighs!

We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas tomorrow! After things settle down we'll post pictures from Christmas day. Merry Christmas!

New Jiu Jitsu Belts!

Well on Saturday December 6 both Shaylie and McKinley tested for their new belts in Jiu Jitsu. McKinley tested and received her orange belt in the Samurai Kids class, and Shaylie tested and received her low yellow belt in the kids class. That same night Marc tested and received his purple belt (leaving only brown and black not conquered). Here are a few pics from that night, ENJOY!
