Christmas Eve 2010

We had a great Christmas Eve just being together as a family. We took time in the morning to clean the house (Santa doesn't bring gifts to a dirty homes!) :). Then we decided that since we weren't going to have a white Christmas that we would drive and find the snow so we could go sledding. We drove up near Snowbasin and found a great sledding hill. The snow was very deep, but icy so we could walk through it. The kids had a blast. After we got home we had dinner and spent time doing traditions, one of them being driving around and looking at lights. To our surprise when we got home the Christmas Elf had left us all new pajamas! Here are a few pictures from our Christmas Eve. I didn't mean to put them out of order, but they are. :)

Family pictures in our new Christmas pajamas.

The kids. We couldn't get Gavin to smile normal. Oh well.

At the bottom of the hill.

Gavin going down.

Ashlyn hanging out on top of the snow watching us sled. She did go down a couple times with Nate until she got too much snow in her face and didn't want to do it anymore.

More sledding.

Near the top of the hill. Gavin wouldn't go down with Nate at first, but once Nate convinced him to go Gavin realized how fun it was and they ended up going down numerous times while Liam, Ashlyn and I sat in the car to stay warm!
