We had such a fun getaway this weekend. The Shaw Family reunion was this Saturday. We decided to take advantage of an excuse to get away and decided to stay in midway Friday and Saturday night. It was a blast. For the family reunion we went sledding at soldier hollow. I have always loved tubing. It brings out the little girl in me. I love the feeling of flying down the hill so fast that you have tears streaming down your face. The best thing about it was the lift that pulled you and your tube up so there was no work needed. It was the laziest form of tubing i have ever done. It was great to get to know that side of the family better. They are all very busy and only get together once a year at Christmas time. This was a great way to get to know everyone in an environment where everyone was having a good time and trying to figure out strategies of what would make us fly down the hill faster. We ended up linking about 30 of us and cruised down the hill. It was a blast and a perfect day to sled it wasn't snowing and i didn't get cold at all.
Getting Ready for the Pool!
Sunday night we had the Snow Christmas party. Every year Santa comes and we get to sing Christmas carols and welcome him into my grandparents house. My grandparents are so sweet they have started so many traditions for our family which make the Holidays exciting. Our family is huge there is 8 kids and each have at least 3 kids my parents have over 20 grand kids. There was over 30 people crammed around all opening presents. I have to say that Christmas is becoming my favorite Holiday. i never thought i would enjoy it more as an adult and getting excited to see peoples reactions when they see the gift i thought of to give to them. I have developed a whole new meaning of Christmas this year and am sad to see it almost be over! Anyways Merry Christmas everyone!
