Sledding and Christmas

We have received so much snow. We had to buy and give the boys their snowsuits early this year. We just couldn't make them wait until Christmas to get them out!! Justin loved them because they look like snowmobile suits. I love that they are warm, and that when Mason has his on, he can't even walk. He just falls over and screams "owie"!! Both boys are so brave, and dare to go down the hills by themselves. I think we have been sledding everyday for the last 5 days. Hopefully the snow will last!

Christmas was wonderful!! We didn't open presents this year until after 10:00. Erik called around nine, so we spent an hour talking to him. It was so great to hear from him, and he sounds so grown up!! I miss my brother so much!! He even got to talk to Easton and Mason. Usually when you give Mason the phone he just laughs. But for some reason he decided to say "hi"! It was so cute. So once Easton and Mason saw the Power Wheels they didn't care about anything else. I told Easton, "don't you want to open all of these presents?" He said "no, I'll just drive this and you can open them!". I then told him that the battery wasn't charged yet, and he replied, "that's okay, I'll just pretend!"! Funny kid. Both of them were so overwhelmed that opening was pretty much an entire day ordeal. I think we finally finished going through stockings and everything at about 9:30 that night!! We would open things, then play with them, then go back and open more!! It was so much fun. It's nice to have new toys to keep the boys entertained.

We took the power wheels outside but there is too much snow. It just spins it's wheels!! We tried putting weight in the back but that didn't help. If Justin pushed it then it would go. Guess we'll have to find somewhere else to drive it or wait until spring! Easton decided he wanted Annie to go for a ride. She didn't seem to mind!
