Sledding at Inspiration Hills

Sunday afternoon Mike, Jamie, and myself bundled up and went to Inspiration Hills to go sledding - they have a nice set up there and are only open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

It was a chilly day but if you dressed for it - it was fine - we actually kept warm from the workout - so all was good !!

Here Jamie is coming down - fast - she had snow pants on but as you can see they are almost capris on her - not quite long enough anymore but they still kept her warm and dry!!

Mike waving as he flies by also!!

This was the nice part - our arms were sore from hanging onto the rope but so nice to be pulled up the hill instead of having to hike it back up everytime!

We had a great time and felt so good to get some fresh air for a change - we will for sure have to do this again sometime soon.

Some ramdom Christmas shots!

Paco opening his stocking - he was very excited and even more when we opened his treats so he could have one!!

Jamie and her new bedspread

Marcus got a camo sweatshirt at grandpa and grandma Pollema's house

The newest addition to the family - Levi of Dave and Amanda with his proud Aunt Alex

Our annual sibling shot - Becky - me - Bonnie - Barry and Brad

And the annual grandkid shot - seems to get more and more every year - good times and always good to come back home where it is a bit quieter after having all this excitement in one place. Actually the older generation taught the 3-9yr olds a football drill to help them use up some of their energy - I got tired watching them and yes it worked and was quite funny to watch!

Beautiful Smiles!!

Jamie is braces free - she had them taken off last Monday and is loving it!! I keep looking at her and she gets mad at me but she all of a sudden looks older again. She was mad that I wanted a picture but finally gave in!

One more step that we are finished with - YEAH!! I know it's probably not very interesting to most but was a big deal for us - so just wanted to share!! Hope you all have a great week!

Paperwork Time!!

At the end of each year comes LONG HOURS of paperwork - found this picture today and thought was quite appropriate!! Although some might beg to differ that I am not too sane most of the time. My stack is getting smaller everyday and for that I am thankful for. Well, back to more paperwork!!
