It was a great way to sled. A rope tow gently pulled you up the hill until it dropped you off for another ride down the mountain. I got a shot of Lo and I heading up for another sled ride.
Drew relaxing on his tube. He was fearless, which made it hard to keep with him. He would sled down the hill and get right back on the rope tow whether I was anywhere near him or not. 
They had cute little tubes for Sommer and Jake that fit them just right. Sommer was a fan of staying in the tube between rides. So we would pull her from the ride down the hill over to the rope tow up the hill.
One last picture of the kids just before we headed back to warm up at our house. We had such a great time with our friends. We look forward to many more visits.
I was impressed that we all left injury free. It was a much more mellow sledding experience compared to those from my younger years. I think I always came home with some sort of injury any time me and my family and friends finished a day of sledding.
Basketball started a couple of weeks ago and Drew is feeling it. He thought soccer was pretty fun too, but he seems to really feel the love for Basketball. So far we have had two games and he has made at least one basket per game, which is pretty cool. 
Very blurry shot of Drew going in for a basket.
It is fun watching him be competitive and really go after the ball.................even if he tries to take it from his own team members.
Grandma carrying one of her 3 foot sparklers to bring in the New Year. Notice her slipper flip flops for the freezing Idaho winter eve. You may also notice Drew's shoeless feet just behind her. 
The kiddies stayed up with us until the midnight hour and then settled in to bed after our midnight celebrations. Happy New Year everyone! We had a great night, it just went by way too fast!
Since today is January 16th, I thought I should finally get around to posting our Christmas and New Year festivities in Idaho at Grandma and Grandpa Moss's house.
Drew's favorite present was his electric train from Santa-that thing was running almost non-stop for the rest of Christmas Day.
Sommey's favorite gift from Santa was her fancy Sleeping Beauty dress with jewelry and shoes. As Drew's train was continually chugging down the tracks, so was she forever prancing around the house in her lovely gown. 
BEFORE: BORING EMPTY SPACE IN THE KITCHEN
AFTER: A ONCE EMPTY SPACE WITH A BIT MORE PIZAZZ
Greatest thing about this needed update is that I already had the paint and my Mom gave me the canvas. So, total cost for this project was $$FREE.99$$
We had a very Happy Thanksgiving with the Nestman clan. We all ate, chatted and laughed a lot. I cooked my first Thanksgiving turkey and it actually turned out really tasty. So, I was very Thankful for that. 
We were Thankful that Lo carved the turkey for us and Janyce supplied MANY yummy dishes for the meal.
