Christmas in Spokane Finale--Sledding

The day after Christmas we headed up Mt. Spokane to see some snow and go sledding. Isaac "got to" stay home with Daddy, since we were worried about his breathing. The rest of us had a blast!

Actually, Finley wasn't too crazy about sledding. As long as we weren't sitting her on or near a sled, she was pretty happy.

Grandpa took each of the grandkids down the hill with him.

Sareny loved it! Grandpa told her she went the farthest and fastest down the hill, and she was pretty proud about that.

I'm pretty sure this was Maira and Marcela's first time sledding.

Sareny loved it and never wanted to leave!

I tried hauling Finley up on the back of a sled, and she did not like it.

We had a lot of fun playing in the snow. We left Spokane a couple days later and did the drive to Overton in one day. We were sad to be leaving and had enjoyed such a wonderful time with family. The good news--we get to see some of them in four days at Disneyland! We're so excited.

A visit to Cedar City

While we were in Nevada last week for Christmas, we were lucky enough to take a quick day trip into Utah to visit with extended relatives. We had dinner in the back room of the local Sizzler and enjoyed their Hibachi chicken, endless fried shrimp, and salad bar.

It was snowing pretty hard throughout Utah and I was reminded of how much I dislike driving on snowy roads. I love my Arizona winters!

Anyway, it was great to catch up with some of our family that we live so far away from, and we missed the ones who couldn't make it.
