Justin is finally on Winter Vacation! Yay! We are so happy to have him home with us for two whole weeks! We have been getting a ton of snow lately (we will be having a white Christmas), and yesterday we decided to take advantage. We went sledding with some of our friends. Clayton and Noah had never been sledding before and it was quite the experience. Clayton and I went down for the first time together and, wouldn't you know it, Clayton ended up with a face-full, boot-full, and wrist-full of snow (time for a new snowsuit). Anyway, that pretty much spoiled sledding for him. He did go down one more time with his friend Gracie and he had much more fun going down with her than he did with me, but after that, he was done! Justin and I were so bummed. You plan to take your kids on these great adventures and they just want to go home! What is up with that?!? Noah had a better experience than Clayton did. He went down once with Justin and he actually liked it (he will be my daredevil child). However, after about an hour of Clayton refusing to go back up the hill, we went home. So much for that!
This is Clayton and Gracie coming down the hill (Clayton is in red).
This is afterward. He liked going down with her, but wasn't about to do it again!
This is when Justin and Noah went down together. They had a crash landing and Justin, in true parent style, did everything to make sure Noah didn't end up on the bottom (it was funny to watch)!
Also, Clayton finally wanted to write a letter to Santa. He has been the biggest snoop this year and has actually found a lot of things he shouldn't have! What am I going to do with this kid!! Anyway, he asked for letters and numbers, cars, a cash register, and a football. It was fun to be able to do this together and he was really into it. It will be great this year to see his face when he realizes that Santa has brought him the things he has asked for!

The cash register is awesome! Clayton is obviously a future banker or Wall Street tycoon. Our kids have left us "out in the cold" too. Baylie and I started a snowman and she was back inside 3 minutes later. We're just not used to the cold.
I wish that we had a place to sled around here but it is so flat. I am sure Landon would react similar to how Clayton did though, so maybe it is for the better. Clayton and his Christmas list is very cute!
How fun! Sledding is so much fun, your pictures were so cute. That is so cute that Clayton wrote a letter! Pretty impressive that he can write that good!!! ;) Have a Merry Christmas!
We took Michael sledding last weekend and he had a good time. I was the party pooper because my husband kept wanting me to go down so I did and pregnant it isn't so fun! So I opted to hang out and watch. Clayton will want to do it sooner or later. That is funny about Noah. He is a brave little boy!!
Wow Clayton is getting so big, he is getting to be quite the little man! I have also noticed that Noah is getting a lot bigger to....when can I expect another Smith? Your genes are to good to stop having kids anytime soon.
Hey fool thanks for updating my site!! Is that Noah?
Oh my gosh...I can't belive how much Clayton looks like Justin!!! Looks like a lot of fun!!! I want to go sledding so bad! Hopefully after the baby we'll be able to make a trip up the mountain!
