SLEDDING FUN

As I'm sure I've mentioned before, I'm not a let's go outside and have fun in the snow type of person. I don't dislike winter, I don't even mind snow. I just hate being cold!! So when a certain member of my family suggested this morning that we take the kids sled riding, I really was less than thrilled at the thought...so I did what I always do in these type of situations (you know, the ones where I don't wanna), I volunteered my husband, and that folks is why he loves me, lol. And this wasn't even ordinary sled riding, this was nighttime sled riding...YIPPEE, EVEN COLDER!!

Logan had spent the night with her Granny Julie who Ciara now lovingly calls JuJu, and Aunt Jamie, Uncle Jay and her cousin Gavin, so we all headed over to their house for the event. I wasn't sure if Ciara was going to like sled riding, it rarely got cold where she lived in China, but we bundled her all up in her new snowsuit that she got for Christmas from my mom and dad and gave it a whirl. And she had a blast. While Logan and her dad were trying to see how far they could make the sled go, Leyna was giving Ciara pushes down the little hill and she at one point was singing the whole way down. Roger stood at the bottom by the house to make sure neither one of them ran into it, lol. I did manage to stay outside for about 15 minutes to get some pictures, though. Go figure!

Everyone looks like they had a good time sled riding.

Several years ago I went sled riding with one of our exchange students who had never seen snow. It had been at least 30 years since I had ridden down a hill on a sled. I remember having a wonderful time.

Oh that looks like SO much fun... I'd be right there in the middle of all of that. Your snow is gorgeous --and I'm SO jealous..

Love Ciara's snowsuit. We had those heavy things when my sons were little. They could barely walk with them on.... Bet Ciara didn't get cold at all.

I'm SO envious...
Hugs,
Betsy

Love the pics Jackie! Hope Ciara had about 15 layers under that coat? Otherwise you might be in trouble with a lot of grannies in China ;-)

PS Loved the Christmas card and picture!! It is up on my fridge:)
