White Christmas (3/3)

Dearest Boys,

We spent Daddy's actual birthday playing outside.  Unbeknownst to me, Grandma and Grandpa have the king of sledding hills!  Funny that in our 15 years together, Daddy and I never went sledding in the backyard.?.!

This was your very first trip down the hill....I love that you took the trip together!


And the second picture I took that day ended up being my favorite one of them all!


By the look on your face, riding with Daddy was pure joy!


Time for a "girls only" sled.


"Hailey, did you enjoy that as much as I did??"


The following series of photos is courtesy of Grandpa:  
You descended the hill all by yourself...


You noticed that you were getting really close to Jackson and his sled...



You realized that Jackson's sled was about to become a ramp for yours...


You officially went airborne!


Thus, the great crash of 2012!


It seemed safer to ride with a partner after that.


Sled races, anyone?


A face full of snow put a hault to your fun, Colt.


But, Jax, you would've stayed out there another hour or two!



You little snow bunny, you!

The next day was our last day in Indiana.  Colt, you stayed with Daddy at Grandma and Grandpa R's house.  Jax, we went with Grandma and Grandpa M. to the Colts game.  Lindsey and Angela came along and we watched the Colts score another win!

Here we are before kick off:



You stayed on Grandpa's lap during the pre-show and had a firm hold around his neck during the opening fireworks!




You tripped on the stairs at the end of the game, injuring your knee yet again.  Despite it freezing outside, you insisted on walking back to the car with one pant leg up the whole way.  Silly, stubborn, boy!  (You come by it honestly!)


The four of us were reunited in Indy right after the game and we immediately began the drive back to Texas. This time, however, we stopped in Springfield, MO for a hotel stay.  For future reference, this is totally the way to go!!!
