Sledding Party

We had SUCH a fun day! Today, Gabriel had his very first "little-people" birthday party. :) We invited about 8 of his friends to meet at the sledding hill at 11 a.m., followed by pizza and cake at our house. What a blast! Although you can see spots of grass in the photo of the sledding hill, it was some of the best sledding we've ever had! The snow was packed so hard, it was like flying on ice! We had a few mishaps, with Gabriel bouncing down the stairs on his sled (ouch!) and mom taking out hapless children who had to do flips to get out of the way ... yikes! But no one got seriously injured! :) It was so much fun to see all of the kids getting so excited about sledding, and pizza and presents! What a great group of friends!
In the photo of the group (from left to right, starting in the back): Seth, Shea and Abbie; Joel, Isaac and Jen; Me and Asher: Josh is sitting in front of Jen, with Austyn in front of Josh. And then Katarina and Gabe are sitting in the front. The other photo is a picture of Gabe and Nate, getting ready to go down the hill together!
