Next to the happiest place on earth....

....would be playing in the snow, for my children at least! New Years Eve we took off early, going the long way to Flagg. (Cass had work stuff he had to do.)
If Gavin could live on a sled in the snow, he'd be the happiest kid ever. He didn't stop the WHOLE time, smiling and laughing along! The older 4 children were brave enough to go down this huge hill, it looked like it would hurt if you wrecked (we saw a few of those). I videoed the girls going down, I think they could have done this all day long as well.
Gavin refused to get out of the sled, Brooklin was kind enough to pull him all the way back to the truck.

Brighton's baby had to have her turn, Uncle Justin helped.





Cousin Daisy


Gage totally threw this at me!


Chandler





I think Bright was so cute in her snow clothes





Woo hooo!


So happy


Wish we could have played longer, but it was so worth it. I'm glad my children have this memory!

10 years, WOO HOO!

Ten years have flown by! For our anniversary, we thought it would be fun to go on a hike! Cass had hiked Flat Iron before so we decided on that one. Not even half way up! Didn't know or care... at the time!
We made it to the top. This hike was probably the hardest that I have done, aside from the Grand Canyon (I think).
I loved getting to do this alonside Cass, he is so fun to be with, still!

Later that evening, we took the kids out to eat. We don't do that often and when I told the kids to get nice clothes on, the girls came up wearing their baptism dresses! Oh, they are so cute.
It was a wonderful day. Thank you to my parents who watched our children so we could go on the hike!
