Sledding, Snowboarding, a Little R & R

2 weeks ago we took a family trip up to Flagstaff. Some friends from our town have a large cozy home up there. They let us use it (once again) for Jeff's birthday weekend get-away.
On Friday the kids went sledding, made snowballs, snowmen & snowforts for what seemed like hours! I was still unbelievably sore, so Jeff did all the work & I took the picts.
We LOVE that the snowy cold mountains are only 2 1/2 hours away. Not close enough to replenish snow gear every year, so the kids wore a mod-podge of what our friends have.
On Saturday Jeff & his friend Duane took off for a day of snowboarding. They had a blast together.
Meanwhile Leah & I had the kids back at the house. They played so well! Movies, games, make-believe, they were cute to watch.

For me it was really good to get away. The surgery was a lot harder on my body than I anticipated. Luckily Jeff's mom took care of everyone the 1st week, because I was completely helpless & loopy. Getting away meant forced relaxing & time to heal...which I needed.
This last picture is Jeff pulling Sydney up the hill...as she slowly slid out. Oh, I love it!
