Catch up- New Years 2012

Since we decided to stick out Christmas in the desert we were craving some cold weather and snow for New Years. So we drove up north to Round Valley to spend New Years with our parents.

Brian gave Jeremiah a load of firecrackers for Christmas, and guess who was the most excited to watch them.

I’m a little concerned that he might be a pyro when he gets bigger. haha.

Like his dad.

Ryan didn’t like the noise so he stayed inside and munched on pretzels while we froze to death outside. But it was totally worth it!

Jesse and Randi made the trip that weekend too. They are always a ton of fun. We played everyone’s favorite board game “The Logo Game”. Ok, so no one liked the game but it was fun to hang out with these two crazy kids!

I couldn’t resist sneaking a shot of the sleeping baby. Why do they have to grow up so fast?

What’s that? The best Christmas gift ever! An ABC train puzzle!

Before we came back home to Mesa we took the kids sledding at the old ski run. Best. Day. Ever.

It was cold and we had to cut our day short because the kids didn’t have snow pants and Simon forgot his socks. But they had a tremendous good time. I even got to take Mason down the hill a couple of times.

Ryan rode in our teeny tiny blue sled and he would fly like lightning down the mountain. Then he would wait for mom or dad to go get him and pull him back up the hill to do it all again.

Mason even tried the tiny sled but he wasn’t a fan. So we gave it back to the big boys.

I didn’t get any more pics of the kids on the hill but let me tell you the had FUN! We can’t wait to do it again!
