We have this fabulous new tradition of spending New Year's Eve at my family's cabin at Bear Lake with my siblings and their families. It is SO much fun. There is snow, sleding, Rhino rides in the snow, dancing, singing, musical chairs, lot's of noise, 2 "Midnights" (one at 9:30 for the kids and the real one for the adults)........it is so much fun and I hope we continue to do it for many years.
Tracy and Hayden sledding. Tracy, Chad and Kyle made a great sled run down the mountain for the kids, with a jump at the end. (Tracy landed wrong and cracked his tailbone, it's a good thing he stands for living and doesn't have to sit because he hurts).
Anna sledding!!!!! This is a huge shocker!!! She is kind of a princess and doesn't so much enjoy being cold and wet and is a little bit of a chicken. But she went sledding. It took her watching for a while to make sure everyone else was ok but she did it. I was very proud of her. I don't push her very often to do things she is scared of but I was so excited she wanted to do this. She had so much fun.
This is our first round of Musical Chairs. Please notice who is still in the game. The two big Dad's who were cheating and making kids cry (nice parenting skills)........they were butting kids off of chairs and walking with their backsides practically on the chairs (please notice Tracy in the above picture.....the music hadn't stopped yet.....he is still walking). I guess boys will be boys and always love to win. After this game, we forbade them from playing so the kids could have a chance. (By the way--- I am pretty sure Chad won.....but it was close).
