Christmas in Spokane - Part One

 This is Part One of my Christmas post about our AWESOME Christmas in Spokane Washington.  We haven't gotten together with the Smith family for Christmas for 15 years!  It was time.  My sister, Kelly, and her family live in Spokane, so we bought tickets back in October to go for Christmas.  My parents came and my brother and his daughter came too.  It was so great!
 We went sledding the last day we were in Spokane after all the other family had gone home.  It snowed the night before so it was a perfect day for sledding!
 It took a few hours for all of us to find clothes for playin' in the snow...
 we thought we had come prepared!  But no.  We ended up borrowing some essentials from Kelly's friend (thank you Lexie!)
 This was Sophie's third time playing in snow, and again, I found her eating it up.  We had to remind her about the yellow stuff.

 Even Crew came in his car seat.  (Crew, can I have your eyelashes??)


 Matt probably made the most runs...even if it meant pulling cousins uphill afterwards.

 This is Matt after he and I hit some powder and inhaled and swallowed all kinds of snow.




 Matt and Uncle Jordan had a bit of a snow fight at the end of our sledding...I remember snow wash days at recess.   YUCK.
But they liked it so its all good.
