Adventures In Sled Land

Denise & Abbie

Yes, that is the jump built right next to the only tree on the hill-

2 Sleds, 2 kids & 1...dog!

We've had the most fun this year sledding! Our new favorite spot is the 3rd hole at the Eburg Golf Course. The kids are beyond the basics and are now into jumps, speed & tricks! The adults have had just as much fun. I had to bail on the day it was 5 below zero- sorry Tate! Here's a quick look-

Christmas Eve

This Christmas Eve was celebrated with Brady's side of the family. We started a new tradition last year of themed dining. This year everyone brought a Italian dish-delicious!! In lieu of gift giving between families, we tackled a pinata, decorated gingerbread men, played games (thanks for the wonderful prizes Meme), and listened to Ryan, Joel & Austin play Christmas music on their guitars.

Breakfast With Santa @ Suncadia

We braved breakfast with 7 "tough" boys

Get me outta here-I don't want any presents!

This year we caught up with Santa just before he headed back to the North Pole with his sleigh full of wishes. We had a wonderful breakfast at Suncadia and a quick visit with the big man in the chair. Tate was on super behavior all morning just in case Santa caught a glance, and Crue was great right up until picture time. He screamed in terror for the third year, which was fine as long as it was caught on camera- Thanks Willards & Moores for braving the treacherous back roads with us-

Wine Tasting

We had good intentions of tasting our way through the Yakima Valley Vineyards, ending up where ever Roxy led us (responsibly of course)- and then WINTER hit! Roxy belongs to our great friends Brad & Shannon & is a 30 something foot RV. With 4 couples we were ready to hit the road however, Roxy & Snoqualmie pass couldn't see eye to eye. Rather than cancelling our weekend the couples headed over late PM on Friday in one vehicle and the wine tasting began...from the comfort our our own home!! We had a wonderful weekend eating in, out to the Tav of course for lunch and even hit a movie. We had some great R&R- let's do it again guys, possibly in the Spring???

Little cheese & his mohawk

Up close & personal @ Seaworld

Poolside at Disneyland Hotel

Goofy's Kitchen for Breakfast

The Rockstars & Their Limo

The week prior to Thanksgiving weekend our family had the amazing experience of visiting the Magic Kingdom...Disney. Brady's parents, siblings and our nieces all vacationed together visiting Sea World, Disneyland and California Adventure. It was a whirlwind trip and we loved every minute of it. We even made it home just in time for a wonderful home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner with my parents.

Turkey Anyone?

Tate's class put a recipe book together with all the traditional Turkey Day fixins' and how they would make them. This is Tate's recipe for making a turkey:
