For snow lovers, the hills in the benches of Mapleton are calling their names. So, to celebrate the New Year, we went sledding with Uncle Bobby and his kids (Sarah, Matt, and Parker).
We had a lot of fun, and had a lot of face plants. The snow was fresh, and hadn't been touched since it fell. So, hitting the bottom of the hill had all new meaning, and there were lots of faces full of snow (the white hat on the ground is Robby with Matt)
Despite the many wipe-outs (above, the pink blob is Jessy under her cousin Matt) there were absolutely no tears or screams that a limb was going to fall off. It was just FUN!
Aeryka learned a new trick. She wanted to try Matt's new snowboard. Not only did she try, but she succeeded (and absolutely loved it!). 
She now wants a snowboard for her birthday.
Everyone had fun. Jessy and Robby kept the hill busy, but almost always refused to use a sled. They just felt that their bottoms would suffice, and would just find the hard-packed streaks to go down.
RIGHTEOUS! This was Nicky's sentiment with every run down the hill. And, if we were counting face plants, Nicky won face down! And, like his dad when he was a kid, Mom and Dad needed to hold his glasses so that they wouldn't get lost in the snow.

Sounds like you guys had a great holiday!!
Your kids are super cute. I like the snow too, but only for maybe a day or too and then I am ready to have it melt or move some where that is warm!
Looks like fun! Which hill is that? And, when you guys get the funds, you really should check out tubing at Soldier Hollow.
