Sledding at the Sugar Bowl

We don’t always get to go sledding here – in fact, this is probably the first time in almost 2-3 years that we have had enough snow and that it has been warm/cold enough to go sledding.  Either it’s too cold to go, or the chinook is blowing and the snow disappears.  There still wasn’t too much snow, but it was enough to have some fun!

Gideon thought it was so much fun!  I don’t think he has ever really gone sledding before, so it was fun to see his reaction to it.
Afterwards, we were invited to have dessert with an awesome couple in our ward.  Their children are all grown and gone, so they enjoyed having our kids over.  It was a great way to spend our Family Home Evening!

12 Years!

Matt and I celebrated our 12th anniversary this year.  We were able to get away for the weekend thanks to my mom and dad taking our kids for us!  Matt’s co-worker has a condo in Fernie and was very generous and let us take it for the weekend.  We set out Friday night after both Matt and I got off work, dropped off our kids at mom and dad’s and got there late.  Saturday was such a nice day.  We really didn’t do anything, but we were able to sleep in, watch a movie, play a game together and go out to a nice dinner.  We drove down into Montana and found a little place we had heard of called Point of Rocks.  It is a converted house and the food was great!  We stayed over Saturday night and were planning on going to church in Kamloops, but overnight it started to snow and the roads were not so nice, so we decided to head home that morning.  We made it back to mom and dad’s in time to go to sacrament meeting with them and the kids.  We had a nice dinner there and then headed back home.  It was nice to spend a whole weekend together – Happy Anniversary!!
