cade, hayden, and asher--taking a break and begging for hot chocolate!

the tough cutting crew.  mike, joe, ellery, andie, taryn, and jason.  yes, jason hiked through thigh high snow in shorts.  his legs were bright red!  i don't think he knew what he was getting into!

tricky jason!

kids, free of snow clothes, waiting for the tree to be tied on top of the car for the ride home!

a magness thanksgiving

somehow we got suckered into having thanksgiving at our house.  i'm not a fan of thanksgiving but it was a-okay!  we made it pretty low key and it was still a lot of work!  we were happy that gr/gr hansen came!  next year:  grand america, slc!

the little kids got stuck in the front entry!
