Last night, Alexa and McKenzie slept over at our house. Due to a little comment made by one of my nieces (Alexa to be exact), I had to prove that I was still a fun aunt. Alexa made a little comment that she didn't want Monica to ever get married because once you get married, you get boring. So, we (Alexa, Kenzie, Steve, and I) stayed up until like 2:30 in the morning playing Rock Band. I wasn't sure if that was enough to make me cool again, so today, I went sledding with all the kids. If that doesn't do it, I guess I'm doomed to be a boring aunt! My dad was already planning on taking them sledding so we had them come out to our house. It's nice to have that hill behind our house cause when the kids got too cold, they could just go in the house.
My dad pushed Jake down the hill on a tube and I don't think Jake was quite ready, cause he wrecked and hurt his knee. He went inside for a bit, but came back out and was still grumpy. So dad kept telling him to "engage" from Top Gun, I guess. He wasn't really get much of a response out of Jake until I went and tackled him in the snow. He loved it! Then he was almost back to his normal self again!
I think Max only went down the hill once and then he came in. I don't know if Brinlie even made it up the hill to begin with. They just wanted to be in where it was nice and warm. Steve turned The Grinch on for them and they just sat there and watched it.
After we were done sledding, we all came in and Steve made us some of his famous home-made hot chocolate. It's the best! Amy, Jason, and Owen showed up just in time for hot chocolate, but they missed out on the sledding. I don't think they minded though.
I think this was the first time my mom has actually sat down and watched The Grinch. She was enjoying it very much!
That's Amy and Jason under the blanket spooning with the fireplace in the component closet. They really did fall asleep for a little bit. It was pretty weird.
It was fun sledding. I love having nieces and nephews to do that kind of stuff with, cause Steve refuses to.
