We designated Wednesday, New Year's Eve, as sledding day. We headed up to the Cibola National Forest (elevation 8000 feet). On the way, we borrowed a couple of sleds from some friends of Uncle Doug and Aunt Lynn's. We had brought our little disc sled from Phoenix.
The surprise of the afternoon was Bella, who demonstrated the greatest sledding endurance. It helped that it was a nice day, sunny and relatively warm (I think it was in the 50's). Bella didn't want to leave. She even ran into a big tree on her first solo trip down the hill, but she was undeterred. Alex, on the other hand, got snow in his boots early on, so he was done early.
After sledding, we stopped for lunch at Burger Boy and tried an ostrich burger (tasted like beef).
Our iPod car charger crapped out the day before, so we made a quick detour about 8 miles up the freeway to Best Buy and got a new charger.
Back at home, we had a dinner of turkey and dressing. Though Alex and Bella wanted to stay up to watch the ball drop at midnight, we put them to bed with the promise that we'd wake them up for the big moment, which we did. We all watched the ball drop, then hit the sack.

I didn't get the feed for this post so am just now reading it 9 days later... the sledding looks like so much fun. Wish we were there!
