Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow



"It's snowing!"  For some of us it had been years since we had actually seen snow fall from the sky and for others (Daniel) this was the first time.  So you can only imagine our excitement when we woke up one morning in Nevada with snow on the way.  It didn't take long for the kids to get into their snow gear and head outside to shovel and play in this new white stuff.

This is how we found Daniel throughout his first experience in the snow.  He would get so excited when a tiny flake of snow made it to his tongue.

We have taught this girl that sticking out her tongue is not lady like, but she just couldn't resist having the snow fall right on her tongue.  


All kids have to make a snow angel and this sweet one would plop herself down anytime she could to make one.

Let the sledding BEGIN!!!!


Growing up, after a snow storm, we would go outside to shovel the driveway.  There were many reasons this was necessary,  but the main reason for was to make the ramp for our sled run.  We would spend hours outside going up and down then hill over and over again.  

Garrett starts off  in one of our night sledding adventures.  The kids realized that if they waited till it got cooler and the run started to freeze they would FLY down.

Even the smallest sledders have to carry their sled up the hill.
