We welcomed the new year by spending the day with our friends the Berkemeiers. We relaxed together, watched some football and played with the kids’ new toys. Before our pizza dinner, it was time for Avery’s first attempt at sledding. I wasn’t sure how she would do, but as usual she surprised me!
We used the small hill behind Joe and Janel’s house as our private sledding location. We didn’t think any of the kids were ready for a mega sledding hill! Janie was willing to pull Avery around a few times.
I wish I had grabbed the video camera! Then you would be able to hear Avery and Janie squeal with delight on each trip down the hill. Instead, I put together a few animations with the pictures I took.
It’s not quite the same as a video, but you get the idea!
This race featured Daddy and Avery versus Janel and Janie.
If you asked her, Avery probably would say that her favorite thing about snow is eating it. Luckily she hasn’t come across any yellow snow yet.
While I don’t have any photographic evidence, I took a trip down the hill too. I wasn’t dressed appropriately for anything else. Since Avery likes the snow so much, I guess Chris and I need to invest in snow pants and snow boots for the whole family!
