Sledding

Emily and Jake finally got to experience sledding (the Aunt Jill way) for the first time. When they were little Dad pulled them around the front yard. Since Devo and I really don't like the snow and being cold we don't do a lot of family winter activities.
We drove to a dirt rode by my sisters and hooked the sleds up to the 4-wheeler. It hadn't snowed in a while so there were deep tire tracks. About 2 minutes into the ride Jake got stuck in a rut and turned sideways and got a little scared so I had to ride with him. I planned on only taking pictures so my jeans didn't hold up against the snow so I was soaking wet. Still tons of fun.

Emily wasn't ready to stop so Jake and I traded places and went for another ride. I don't think Jake is too into sledding. Sammy loves riding on the 4-wheeler and he kept finding the gas when Jill would stopped and turn around to take a picture.
Emily loves sledding!

Vegas

We went to Vegas for the holiday. Devo asked the kids what they wanted to do this year and going to see grandma and grandpa Skinny was on the top of their list.


The kids enjoyed being outside in the warm weather. After being cooped up for months the park seemed like Disneyland to them.

We got to stay at Aunt Kim and Uncle Ryan's house for a couple of nights. The kids love playing with the cousins and Aunt Kim is always fun too.

The kids loved jumping on the bounce house.

My sister met us in Vegas. It was fun just hanging out and we even got to see a late night movie and do some shopping. Thanks to Devo and Kim

blankets

"Give a day get a day" My sister found this sight on the internet. Lots of ways to help others. We made fleece blankets for kids in the hospital. 2 blankets each in exchange for a ticket to Disneyland. It was fun.
Quality time spent with mom

Jake really enjoyed helping even though he was too young for the free ticket

Britney and Jeremy even got in on the action

Sammy wanted to help too. Don't leave me out Tommy.

We even made the boys do two. It was funny listening to them talk about guy things while they did girl things.
