New Years Sledding

On New Years Eve we had a big party and even had some friends come from CA. One of our friends had custody of his twin 10-year-olds for the holidays, so they came too. They became instant friends with Sierra and Spencer. Being from CA, they had never seen snow before, so on New Years Day we went sledding at a nearby golf course.



Sam and Scott stayed home entertaining another friend with a game or two of scrabble. Sam loves all of our friends because there is a never-ending supply of people to play games with.



Here are the BFF girls.



And the boys.



Ready, set, go!




Simon and I went down a hill once together. I expected him to be scared, but he loved it. Soon, though, the cold got to him (and to the twin's dad not acclimated to the temperature) so the two of them went back to the car to warm up.

Finally, I pried the other kids off the sledding hill and we went home, but the kids still wouldn't come inside. Brrrrr.





Saying goodbye to friends that you've only known for 18 hours shouldn't be as hard as it was, but the kids are looking forward to probably seeing each other again this summer. And the next time we head to San Diego we will have friends to hang out with there.
