YEAH SNOW!

Sledding is so much fun who would have thought that snow is only 45 minutes away from Las Vegas! It was the perfect day. The sun was shinning and it was like 55 degrees. You couldn't ask for a better day. Stella wasn't a big fan of the snow but she got use to it and was eating it by the end of our adventure. Sicily loved it and wasn't ready to leave, she loved running up and down the hill with her friends Marinda and Noah. Sophia was having a blast up and down up and down until she finally dropped!

Make a wish!

Sicily and Sophia were so excited that the wish bone from Thanksgiving was finally dry. They stood by the Christmas tree thinking of their wish and kept telling each other dont tell anyone your wish or it wont come true! So they faced each other with big smiles on their faces Sure that they were going to be the winner and thier wish was going to come true. they both pulled and it broke the top flew across the house and no one won. CRAP!!!

Downs Christmas Party

We had so much fun! I would have to say that making the ginger bread houses was the highlight of the night. I don't think that everyone quite knew what they were getting into, so it will be fun to see what happens next year ( I know that Tyson has already made the plans for his house for next year!) My girls had so much fun they didn't want it to end! We gave my niece Taylor The cutest shoes that squeak with every step that she takes. She was running around the house like the energizer bunny I didn't think that she was going to stop!

Sicily and Sophia's favorite part was making gingerbread houses.

And the winner of the Gingerbread house contest is
