Christmas in Gunnison


This year we were lucky enough to get spend the weekend after Christmas in Gunnison with Greg's family. It all started with a few presents still under the tree. The kids saw them and didn't let them stay wrapped for long. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the cute cute books. I am a sucker for books we can never have enough. Matayia got a sticker maker from Jacie and Kaitlyn got a Dora lantern from Seth. Thanks guys!!! We got a weekend away from Curtis and Marsha and we are looking forward to going to Heber somtime later in the spring. (Greg says we will go when the weather is good enough to golf) Have you ever heard of a wiggle car?? Well they sure are fun, Thanks for the cars for the kids to ride, they sure had fun zooming around the gym.



Saturday started with a few intense games on the Wii, but we decided to take the kids outside to go sledding. It was really cold and I wondered how long it would last. But as soon as we got to the hill the girls didn't seem to notice the temperature. The hill (aka road) that we went sledding on was just perfect for the kids, long, but not too steep for the kids. The only problem was that it made for a really long walk back up. It took a little talking for Matayia to ride down on the runner sled, and the only way she would go was on her dads back. But after she walked all the way back up the hill the smile on her face said it all, she really liked it! Kaitlyn went down the hill once and then decided that she preferred to just play in the snow with all the girls. The Weekend ended with a fierce game of lighting at the gym. I ended up with a big bruise on my knee. Just a little battle wound for an old lady like me. My body doesn't move as well as it used to. But I did manage to get my husband out a few times. Thanks for the fun weekend in Gunnison, we always love being together with our family.
