We went sledding

We were anxious to get out and take the girls sledding this season. For Christmas last year Grandpa David (Brian's dad) got Bria a bitchin' sled. It's basically like a mini snow mobile without the engine. I didn't get a good picture of it but I will next time we go. 
Here it is in the background standing up.

Anyway, a couple weeks ago we headed to the mountain.

With her new sled Bria was the talk of the sledding hill :) We kept getting asked where we got it and all the kids were pretty envious of Bria. It also has brakes and we taught Bria how to stomp both her feet on them to slow her down. She did awesome and by the end of winter I think she'll be a pro.
 It was freezing. Obviously. But it definitely called for hot chocolate and good thing we packed some. We sat on the back of the car and warmed up a bit.
 There wasn't a ton of snow yet, but enough to sled on and have a good time.


Afterwards we went to the lodge and enjoyed a good lunch then packed up and headed home. Bria was hoping for more snow time but Reese was more than tired so we promised Bria we would come back multiple times.
And the good news is that this morning we woke up to a little snow outside! Probably not quite an inch, but it's pretty and white. Praying for a white Christmas!
