Sledding

I was out running errands one Saturday, and when I got home, this is what I found. Ryan had pushed a ton of snow up against our rocks in the backyard to make a sledding hill.

All three of them were so excited to show me.......

Within 4 minutes of walking in the door, Hayden and Cole had both gone down, and they were both crying from injuries! It's all fun and games, until someone gets hurt :) Ha, and I had to of course pull out the camera to catch the tears....

Ryan made a few adjustments to make it a little bit safer, and then they were set to give it another go. A few neighbor kids even came to try it out over the next few weeks.

What a fun Daddy!

Christmas 2012

We had a great Christmas this year! It was very busy, but so fun to celebrate with family.

The kids woke up about 6. We let Brooklyn sleep for a while. Then we headed down to the fun. We opened stockings, had breakfast, and then opened presents. Ryan's not a big fan of waiting until after breakfast to open presents, but I love to extend the excitement for a bit!

Hayden was so excited about the makeup she got. She kept reapplying it throughout the day.

Of course, Brooklyn had no idea what was going on, but she was happy to have all kinds of attention throughout the day!

Cole got lots of fun things. He was excited to add to his Imaginext collection.

We spent the morning just hanging out with our family enjoying the magic of Christmas morning.

Grandma and Grandpa Woodland came over for a little bit to see the loot and bring even more fun!

Hayden and Cole were excited to try on Cole's new costumes. He's been dressing up in Hayden's princess costumes for so long, we figured it was time he had some boy costumes to wear!

That afternoon we went to have lunch with my family. We had it at my parent's clubhouse and they also invited people from their branch that didn't have family to spend the day with.
