Sledding

The day after Christmas we headed back down to Grandma and Bumpas. We had some lunch and let the kids play before heading over to the park for some sledding. As always, they loved it! Makayla and Levi got cold after awhile and Zack stayed for a little longer with dad while all the rest of the kids finished up. 

 Fist time all by herself! My little marshmallow did pretty good!

 My pregnant body went once, and once was enough on those tiny sleds!

 Krista sure loves having 3 brother-in-laws!

We hit up Cafe Rio since Grammy got us all gift cards there. It was fun to spend time with family! We put the kids to bed and played games with Kellie, McKay, and Dad. Then everyone hit the sack. Well we should have, but Dan ended up playing video games with McKay and I ended up sitting up with Kellie talking till about 2am. We paid the price the next day when our kids were up around 6:45! We did some shopping and lunch the next day. After that I left Dan with the kids at my parents house since we did not have church clothes for everyone. My cousin Candice and her husband Joel lost their little 4 month old baby on Christmas to SIDS. They had a quick funeral before heading home just 2 days later. It broke my heart to see her have to bury her son, but what a strong feeling of the truthfulness of the plan of salvation you got from them and the feeling in the room. I hugged my babies tight that night when I put them to bed. I could only imagine! So grateful for the knowledge of eternal families and for my little family. We headed home after the funeral to get ready for Sunday!
