Christmas 2010 | Sledding with the Ballou Cousins

It's always fun to have a white Christmas and this year didn't disappoint. It snowed a ton in Roosevelt right before we went which meant it was time to drag out the snow pants and have some fun with the cousins. We went out to Bob's office to sled and have some fun on the Razer in the snow. That was so fun! Bridget had a great time being pulled on the sled behind the Razer and was so upset when her turn was over.

Bridget really got into the sledding thing this year and had a lot of fun coming down the hill. She had a little trouble getting back up the hill so that meant James got to pull her up on the sled. He was such a cute dad with her that day, so patient and kind making sure she had so much fun.

I love these pictures of Jack and Bridget. What I wish you could have experienced was the sound as they drove by. Both of them were just giggling they were having so much fun being pulled behind the Razer.

Heading down the hill with Bailey. I got such a kick out of watching her because every time she went down the hill, she'd put her arms up and lay back on the sled, which meant she would roll off of it into the snow. It was so funny to watch.

James got in on the sledding action too.
Doesn't he look so cute going down the hill? Sigh.

Remember how when we were kids we'd build up jumps to use with the sleds? I'm happy to report they are just as much fun watching your kids do the same thing! I had the brilliant idea to build a jump and having Brian pull the kids over it with the Razer. The results were awesome!

Jack showed the most skill. He was able to land all his jumps with a style and grace I've not seen before in him. He held it steady and landed them perfectly. He could turn out to be quite the wake boarder.

Bailey had the best spills of the day. As soon as she went over that jump, she just let go and let nature take it course. She had so much fun jumping, which surprised me.

But Bridget's response was the shocker of the day. If you know my daughter, you know she's a total wimp and not brave at all. But she had so much fun going over the jump like the big kids and didn't fall off once. She's awesome, what can I say?
