Dave's work party was at the Gorgoza Sledding Park again this year. It was so much fun and such a perfect warm night! We left the baby girls home and had a blast with the big kids. This year Ashley was brave enough to go on the biggest hill, though she wasn't quite up to the height requirements, luckily, they don't check. Most of the time a family holds on to each other's tubes and go down as a group, which is what makes it so fun. Andrew cracked us up by wanting to go on the biggest hills all alone several times. Talk about growing up.
The real Santa and Mrs. Claus visit this party each year, while all the other Santas we see are regular people in costume. It is always such a treat to visit them after hot chocolate and such.
Andrew and Ashley took a session of swimming lessons at the rec center with Andrew's friend Luke too. The lessons were about the worst possible instruction I could imagine but, in these cold months it was great to get out of the house, have fun in the warm water and get a little exercise too. These pictures are so bad because the pool is so warm it's a steamy sauna for everyone not swimming and their cameras too.
The very best part of the lessons was that they were at night and Dave could come after work and swim with Hailey most of the time. She was timid to start but, by the end she was having fun in the water and getting more comfortable, so long as she didn't get cold.
The best part was definitely open swim
And the big slide that Andrew can go on now.
And...Andrew started Jr. Jazz Basketball. Dave is the coach and we have a great little team made up of Andrew's buddies. So far it's total chaos all through the gym but, they are learning a bit and having a great time too. Here they are working on a passing drill; Andrew is in the red shorts.
