On Monday Jonathon went sledding in an old gravel pit next to my parents' house with a bunch of friends. He chose to sled down a path less traveled, which turned into a huge mistake. His sled took an unexpected turn and went off a big jump, landing fifteen feet away. He was lying on his back as he rode down so when the sled landed it was his back that felt the impact.
This is what the sled looked like afterward.
My parents took him to the emergency room where he spent 2 and 1/2 hours lying on his back in a neck brace.
The doctors found that he had a compression facture in a vertebrae in his back. His neck turned out fine, but he had a little whiplash. He has spent most of the week lying down.
Moral of the story: Don't sled on your back on a thin sled in a gravel pit. Christmas Eve
For Christmas Eve, we went to my Uncle Rob's house in Highland where my mother's parents were staying. It turned into a fun-filled, holiday, wonderous evening.
We exchanged gifts,
broke a pinata (which loaded us with candy and money),
and sang Christmas carols.

Oh my gosh, poor Jonathon. I have learned my lesson and I will never ride a thin sled down a gravel pit. Hope he is feeling better.
