The Perfect Hill for Sledding...



We bought the house on the hill, and it turns out, it has a variety of sledding locations. There's the retention basin next to the neighbor's across the street which is where Jack was when I got home from school yesterday. There's the park, which is where the kids were returning as John shot this picture, and there's a hill in the the back yard of the neighbors behind us... where Jack sledded after dinner last night (in the dark!)


The exhausted, frozen sledders returned home last night at twilight and demanded hot chocolate before they could possibly eat the chili their dad had made. They were thrilled with their sledding experience, although Xandri and Asa both had frozen fingers, and Jack misplaced more than one set of gloves.

While they were sledding, Max watched his favorite show, "Boots!" (Dora the Explorer.) I even dug up a VHS Dora episode as there seem to be none On Demand... Max is pointing to Boots on TV in this shot.

After dinner, we had Family Home Evening where we built a gingerbread house. A good time was had by all. I think.
