Sledding Day

We decided we hadn't had enough snow in Utah so we got all the snow gear and headed up into the hills here in CA for some sledding. It was so much fun! it is so surprising to me how old Brooklyn is becoming and how she has just become so much more brave than ever before. She loves going down the big hills and going fast. She had the best time and it was so fun to watch her smile. Brooklyn has a very similar personality to mine and at times she is stubborn, she likes to in control of everything and know exactly what is going on, and can get a little bit ornery if she doesn't get her way. It was nice to see her relax a little, smile and have a good time the whole day. I know when she is older these things about her personality will be a good thing [except for the ornery part]. But for now she has been challenging at times. Nikell had a good time sledding but she is not quite the dare devil that Brooklyn is. After Toby took her down a hill that was a little big for her with a few jumps she kind of freaked out. She likes to stick to the little hills and to go down with mommy. Presly really didn't like any of it except when she went down with me on the really little hills. She seemed happy and content just sitting in the snow playing with it. After sledding we found a place with freshly made apple cider to finish off the day. Lots of fun!
