Sledding - Jeff and Emily invited us over to sled in Eagle Mountain at the amphitheater.  It was truly the perfect place for sledding.  I took the 3 youngest boys as Tanner, Johnathan and Byron were at the Madden Tournament (see below).  It was pretty cold to where my feet felt like falling off after 10 minutes, but this didn't stop these kids. There were so many areas where they could go down.  I also loved trying out my new camera. 

 Carter - he was going so fast I almost didn't get him.

 Parker - love this as his hat has fallen over his eyes.

 Cute Bradley not even afraid of the huge hills.

 Bradley, Cadan and Alyssa going down on a baby mattress they found at the amphitheater.  It really didn't go anywhere, but they had fun trying.

 Jeff trying out his surfing skills on the mattress also.  It was pretty hilarious as he had to jump his body forward to even get it to go anywhere.

 Parker, Cameron, Cooper and Carter going down together.

 Jeff took Bradley down and he had a blast.

 Cadan found a piece of cardboard that he used as his sled.  It actually worked pretty good.

 I need to take the rest of my kids another time - this was the perfect sledding location and really not too far from home.

 Christmas presents - Parker and Bradley finally had an opportunity to try out their Christmas presents at the church parking lot.  They both had huge smiles on their faces and had a fun time. 

Madden Tournament - Brother Rindlisbacher has been having this tournament since Tanner was 11 years old.  It started at his house and now has grown to the church.  The boys all get so excited for this activity.  They set up TV's all over and have a tournament.  Tanner and Keawe Kaaihue played together at first with Tanner winning that first round.  Johnathan played against Reggie Northrup with Reggie winning.  They all seemed like they had a fun time.
