On Saturday we invited family and a friend who I used to live next door to (and some other people that didn't make it) out to help us celebrate Connor's special day. We had a tobogganing party, followed by hot chocolate, hot dogs and cake, of course.
The temperature was good for sledding (-11). It could have been warmer, but it certainly could have been colder, as this week it's dipped down as low as -35 (the temperature at which school used to be cancelled... brrr... too bad there isn't a temperature at which work is cancelled... I wasn't ready to kiss the holidays goodbye Monday morning).
But, I digress... here are some photos of our fun! Enjoy!
Uncle Matt riding down the hill with the birthday boy...
Connor, at the bottom of the hill... without Uncle Matt. Umm... hello, where'd you go?? 
My brave little girl sliding down the hill... BY HERSELF... as I look on in horror! She loved it. She kept saying "again!" And in his defense, her Grandpa didn't let her go from too far up. Still, she hasn't grasped the concept of wearing mittens and using the handles at the same time...
My neighbour from the ol' neighbourhood... obviously breaking trail... hehehe
Alex, sliding down by himself and holding on VERY appropriately. Whew!
This was one of the longer hills. It was a lot of fun, but a steep climb. Hard to get to the top without landing on your butt a couple of times on the way up.
My Dad sharing a laugh about... umm... huh... guess I'll have to ask him. Probably the next picture...
... of my husband flat on his belly, Alex making it difficult for him to get up!

I can't help it, this photo makes me grin every time I look at it.
What's New Year's without noisemakers? Although one could argue that you don't

And the obligatory party hat. My daughter seems to have a penchant for hats! :)
And balloons... gotta have balloons!
Here's my neighbour's little guy, helping Connor unwrap the gift he brought (Thanks S!)
And more balloons! This is an octopus. Alex discovered the magic of static electricity.
The cake my Mom made... penguins pulling crazy carpets. It was very cute! :)
Connor and S blowing out his candles... for the third time.
My big boy! Where do the years go! Sniff...
And just for good measure, what the "adults" do at a kid's birthday party!
