Christmas Eve in a Winter Wonderland

It snowed the prettiest flakes all day on Christmas Eve, and it truly felt like a winter wonderland. We spent the day at Grandpa Ted & Grandma Carol's house... taking full advantage of the beautiful day & all the fun activities that we can do there.

Tim, Alexia, & I went snowshoeing across the lake.

We went sledding down the "bobsled chute" that Grandpa Ted spent several days building. The bottom of the chute leads right onto the ice rink, so it was fun to land on the rink, slide all the way across... then off the other side of the rink, ending back in the snow!

Here are Alexia & Brielle:

Here's John:

I was having some trouble steering this sled... :)

...and so Alexia showed me a better way:

We also enjoyed Grandpa's ice rink for the first time:

John did awesome on his new pair of double-runner skates. He didn't need us to hold his hands at all.
