Boxing Day (aka the day after Christmas)

For the 3rd day in a row, we went sledding! To a different location, though! Josh drove us up that afternoon to South Fork in the truck with Malachi and neighbor Abby; we'd only been up to that spot once before last year on New Year's with the Entrikins, but Mal had never been there. We had a ton of fun!!
Malachi sledding face-first!

Jonah on the toboggan

Josh trying out the plastic sled--usually he prefers the tube

Micah having a good run--
each boy tried to be the one to sled the furthest

Ammon didn't make it as far on this run

Kanyon & Josh racing

Kanyon riding in his new sled. He also really liked
 trying to master using Mal's snowboard sled.

Josh made a fire at the base of the hill. I spent half my time
there staying warm and taking photos with my cell phone
We were there for about two hours, before it started snowing and we decided it was time to go home. The boys wanted to be pulled behind the truck in their sleds until we reached Williams Creek Road. We had to stop multiple times, Jonah's plastic sled got ripped to shreds, and they were frozen by the time we reached the adjacent road, but they had so much fun!!
Kanyon, Mal, Micah, Jonah ready to go behind the truck

Kanyon & Abby watched the sledders from the back of the truck.
They would yell at us to stop whenever any of them fell off!
When we got home, we all warmed up, and then it was time for the annual Monopoly marathon game that we usually play over Christmas Break. The boys and Josh all played for a few hours, and Josh came out victorious (of course--which is why I don't even play that game any more against him!).
