X-mas Eve

Mike and I decided to start a new Christmas eve tradition. SLEDDING!!!!!

Since this is our first year together we have family traditions i.e. open one gift, make tamales, make Santa some cookies,etc. we each brought into the marriage but we also wanted to start our own. So today we took to the hills at Murray park and away we went.

Lily and I kept a safe distance and were the picture takers while Mike and the kids went down the steep hills. As a mom I admit I cringed a few times but when I could see the smiles on their faces it seemed to be worth it. Mason did really good with everything except wanting to start a snow ball fight at every chance he could. Hailey rode down with Mike most of the time. She did do it once by herself. She curled up in fetal position and rode down a small hill. She did great.
It was Mike that kept wiping out. Poor dad....But at the end of our adventure we all had a great time with tons of smiles and laughts and we all walked away without any injuries. YEAH!!!(See any comparison with Rudolph?)
