I had to work a few hours on Christmas Eve but was home early enough for us to go sledding. Brandon took his snowboard. So I decided I would give it a try. Ignoring the fact that it is not the correct size for me. I am still for now a few inches taller than him. I think I did ok for my feet hanging off the front. I fell a few times but I think I got a great taste of what it would be like, just on a smaller scale. We all had a great time. I hope we get to go a few more times this season.
Later we had Jeff's Brother Paul & his wife Elizabeth up to hang out with us. We stayed up past 11 o'clock on Christmas Eve playing Pinacle. Fortunately the boys were tired enough to sleep in till about 8 o'clock the next morning. They were so excited! We ate a snack to tide us over till Brunch! Opened gifts all day and enjoyed a nice family dinner later that evening. The boys had a total "Transformer" Christmas. Brandon managed to score a "Rip Stick". For those of you not up to speed in the skateboard world. A Rip Stick is like a skateboard but only has 2 wheels one in front & one in back and then the middle twists so you can turn. Takes more balance & coordination. He loves it though! Tyson got a Remote Control Motorcycle & Ryan got a toy Chainsaw. I got an awesome Mountain Bike, and a Vacuum. Jeff got some car speakers & Bike handles. We enjoyed just sitting around, & chatting. All around we had a great time! We really felt the spirit of Christmas too.
