Over Christmas weekend, we traveled to my parent's house in Iowa. In the past it's been incredibly cold in Iowa over the holidays, but thankfully this year it was in the upper 20s. And there were about 4 to 6 inches of snow on the ground. In other words...perfect weather for introducing Holden to sledding! So Grandpa C. found an old family sled, and mom and dad--and uncle Wil--pushed Holden about through the backyard. Our only problem was that pushing him around was exhausting, but Holden loved it so much he didn't want to stop. Thankfully--eventually--he took a spill when Wil pulled him a hill and did a little "face-plant" in the snow. And finally, he was ready to go inside...where Grandma C. had hot chocolate (well, luke-warm chocolate, to be accurate) ready for him. A nice Christmas afternoon, indeed.
