Today was FILLED with tradition. We started with caroling to the nursing homes and hospital. The Swaseys have joined us for the past few years and this year the Marshs joined in! Kade said he had water in his eyes from singing to the people and making them happy. Darryl commented that the water in his eyes was likely from looking at the sun while we tried to get a picture of the caroling group. It was still nice that he thought that. :)
After caroling we went sledding on the hill by the train tracks. We even got to see the train come into the station. The boys had a GREAT time. Even after Clint's crash into the jump which included Darryl's body smashing Clint's head into the jump. At first he wanted to call it quits but I thought we should encourage him to go again so he would remember how much fun he had instead of remembering we left because he got hurt. He wanted to go one more time, but then he wanted to go again and again and we couldn't get them to leave. We had a sled race with a bunch of other people who were on the hill too. As you can see Darryl had the tough job. We finally told them we had to leave. We headed home for hot chocolate and doughnuts. Then we started a new tradition, we made a huge breakfast for dinner-- pancakes, eggs, and bacon. While eating his bacon Kade said, "There's just nothing like eating bacon." He loves it-- go figure. Then we all went to bed early-- we were beat. The boys didn't get a nap so they crashed hard. Darryl and I had done all we needed to for Christmas and so we got to go to bed early too-- wahoo! What a fabulous day!
