Vacation

Hunter got a crystal making kit from Santa and made is first stalagmite.

McKenna got a book for her birthday called 365 things to make and do.  She found a pillow making project so we helped each of the kids make a pillow.  McKenna and Reagan chose dolphins.  Hunter made an Oregon Ducks helmet on his pillow.

The Rolfs invited us over to their house for New Year’s Eve goodies and chatting.  The boys played video games downstairs and the girls played upstairs.  We watched fireworks in 2 degree weather then went home.  RJ and I stayed up to watch the movie New Years Eve (very average) but pooped out at 11:45 p.m.

I told RJ that if the weather was above 10 degrees we should go sledding on New Years Day.  He reported that it was at 18 so we called some friends and headed over to Hamel park with it’s giant hill.  Come to find out it was negative 4 with the wind chill factor.  Aside from freezer burning our faces, it was fun.

Cheryl and Nathan cruised several times.  Reagan didn’t want to go at all.  Hunter aimed for the jumps and McKenna was equally fearless.  We’ll have to go another time when it truly is warmer than 10 degrees.
