Christmas, Alberta Style!

Ahh, yes, so I posted more snow pictures! Well, I can't help it, I got some great shots on the skating rink and toboggan hill (Mac's Hill, as I grew up calling it!) There is a picture of Ben squished up against a cement median on his tobaggon..well, that was actually a split second problem! The kid decides to head down the hill face first and aim for the "jump" at the bottom, which consisted of a few handfuls of snow packed at the bottom of the cement! Funniest thing I've seen in a long time, where Ben collides with the median and launches a good 3-4 feet in the air and lands about 8 feet from his launch point in some nice soft powder! He's lucky he didn't break his nose! And poor Riley got a face full of snow all the way down the hill when he went with Grandpa...Grandpa used his feet as brakes, and they doubled as "snow spray"! Oops! Riley was only upset for a few minutes, and then he decided he'd rather do a little exploring. Anyhow, the whole family took to the hill for an hour or so and it was so much fun! I don't think that our whole family has ever gone sledding before at the same time! So, as you can see, we had a really fun time, my holiday flew past and now I'm home! Oh, and one other little detail..by the time June comes around..I'll be an Auntie again!!!
