Dinner at UJ's (November 26, 2019)

 We all went over to my brother's...he was cooking salmon on his grill.
 Addison was part chef, too.
 Baxter was hanging out resting on his Papa's leg.  He was exhausted from 
playing in the snow all day!

 Lindsey and her Aunt Becky!

 Yuna
 When it was time for dinner, most of the boys were around this table.  
Sullivan and Benjamin, both sick, were sleeping.
 Joshua had found out the day before about a promotion he received.  Long story, but we are all just so proud of him.  His UJ got a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate.  UJ asked them to write 'congratulations' on the cake, but they couldn't.  However, they had this edible chocolate bar to go along with the cheesecake.

 After dinner, we headed to the basement to play ping pong.  The younger guys were hanging out.  That's William on the ledge!

 Remy was riding the horse!

 The ping pong players...


These boys also played ping pong...and thought they should have a picture, too.  I totally agreed!
Remy, William and Walt!

It was a great night after a great day!

Sledding! (November 26, 2019)

 Ron and Joshua had bought a couple of sleds.
Now was the perfect time to use them!
The original plan was to go to a sledding hill...but someone, I'm not sure who, had the brilliant idea to try it in front of our house!  It was perfect!

 One of Emerson's desires had been to play football in the snow...
he got his wish!
 Look at this smile!
William was having a blast in the snow...and he's used to snow, having a dad from Montana and grandparents with a home there!


 Wearing a beanie has become familiar to Ron!
Uh-oh...here goes!  Joshua ready to push his 'little' brother down the hill!

 Remember what I said about Emerson wanting to play football?  Well, Emerson was on a sled, pushed by different people...mainly his Uncle Joshua...and he'd look back as the sled was moving looking to catch the football his dad was throwing!
 Walt!  He was just loving the snow.  He was crawling in it...and here, our front yard is terraced, but you couldn't tell or even feel the large bricks under the snow.
 This is Joshua's truck!
That's Emily and Walt on the sled, being pushed by Gabe...or wait, is that Donnie on the sled?

Nope, it was Emily...I can tell from this picture and her coat.

 Emerson had just dived for the ball....


 Cute picture of Emily!

 I don't think I have a single picture of Walt outside in the snow when he doesn't have a HUGE smile on his face!  This guy needs to live in Colorado! (hint)
 Uncle Joshua was giving his nephew a big push...


 He's looking over his shoulder for the ball....
Can you see the football?
 Benjamin was feeling a bit better...and decided to come out for a bit.
He's normally one to go fast...on his bike, on roller coasters...
so I know he'd love to have felt well enough to fly down the hill on a sled.


 I love this picture!!!
 A race...…………..



 Oops...Gabe didn't quite go in a straight line on his sled.
This was so much fun!  It was cold...but oh so worth it to be outside!

It's been a long time!
