Annual Sledding Party!

I'm playing catch up with the blog. It might get messy around here...

What would Ben's birthday be without our traditional family sledding party. The day we went it was hovering around 12 degrees. It was frigid. I'm getting cold just looking through the pictures.

Here's what Ben (who is notorious for coming up with some kick-A outfits) decided to wear sledding. He insisted on wearing goggles and a helmet. The chosen goggles were lense-less goggles that came with a tool set and the helmet is a cheap race car helmet. He wouldn't leave the house without either of them.



I think my sister peed her pants a little bit when she saw him. I'm so used to seeing his funny outfits, I didn't know what she was laughing so hard over.

Since we'd already had a friend's party for Ben, we decided to just do a quick donut cake in the back of car.



Did I mention how freaking freezing it was that day? SO COLD! My ears were about to fall off.

And here is the traditional family sledding photo.



Oh! And I can't forget to mention, this was the first year Ben didn't cry the entire time. Although the tears did eventually come when he got snow to the face (can't believe those goggles didn't work!) on what ended up being the last ride down the hill. Jake went down a time or two but wasn't super impressed with the whole thing.
