Sometimes the sequence of photos is what makes a photo interesting. Here is my dare devil niece diving sledding down a small but very steep slope of snow. She wasn't hurt at least not enough to stop her from trying the hill again and again.
It is difficult to see, but the distance she had air time is easily 6 feet. 
I was hoping that Winter was winding down, but looks like mother nature has some more white weather in store for us. I am ready for the winter to end and for spring to come. The good thing is I have a big helper to clear the snow...
And the other good thing is we need the moisture. Can't wait for the warm weather to come back and stay this time...
Like I mentioned earlier I am way behind on the whole blog thing. Christmas was crazy fun with ton of family that totally wore me out, and then work was busy!
This year we spent Christmas with the wife's side of the family up at a cabin at snowbird. The mountain was beautiful and the cabin was roomy yet cozy all at the same time. It has been a while since all of Anji's sisters have been together. Seems lately there is always is someone A-wall.
Well we weren't there for Christmas morning because we were with my family (we heard that Christmas morning at the cabin was world war three with gift wrapping flying and parents ducking for cover).
So what fun things did we do? We took the kids out for a little sledding. It wasn't a huge success but it was just great being out in the fresh cold mountain air.
The cabin had beautiful views.
And when it got to cold it was time to go inside and warm up, snuggle and get some hot coco. Izzy like it so much she stayed inside the whole time.
Poor Damon got a upset tummy.
Papa (Grandpa) went wild playing with the grand kids,
And Nana had the grand kids eating right out of her hand.
Did I mention that the kids got guns for Christmas? It is the wild, wild west...
This is why it is required that young hunters take "hunter's safety courses"!
One last special note: Nikki and Stoker were sealed in the Salt Lake temple during the holiday. It was a very special moment for the whole family. OK I know the photo of Nikki and Stoker is not from the night of the ceremony but I liked it best of the photos I have of them (seems most all my photos are of the kids).
Nik and Stoker's parents were so happy and proud! What a wonderful day!
We all know that the big guy in red is coming (Santa Clause). With him comes that white blanket that just really makes things look clean and well, lets face it Utah snow is the best to play in! Last year Clayton was too little to enjoy the snow but this year is going to be the bomb! Sledding, snowman building, snow ball fights, and all the other snow games you can play.
Clayton's hat may look big, well it is. That is actually dad's hat but he thinks he is big and that is what he wanted to wear. He didn't want to wear his hat as it is too "little".
The cold made his little nose and eyes water. He is a tough little dude and handled it like a champ.
The snow is fun! Clayton loved how everything was covered with snow!
What we need to do is get the little man some real snow gear. After a while the snow got to him and he just couldn't handle it any more. Some good gloves, boots, snow pants, are in order!
