Snow Day!!

We had our first real snow fall on the Thursday before Christmas.  Schools were closed for Thursday and Friday, and I think we had close to 10" of snow.  With Christmas, and then it being so cold out, we weren't able to get out and play in the snow until after the first of the year.  Well, actually we went out the Thursday it snowed, but it was soooo windy out, that the kids and I huddled on the South side of the house (to try and block the North wind) for about a half hour and then they, and I, had had enough and we went back inside. :)  Anyways, after the firs of the year, it warmed up a little bit, so we got all bundled up and headed outside for some fun in the snow!

We made a loop around our yard with the sled.  I would pull them on the only sled we have, one of those little toddler ones. :)  Both kids absolutely loved it.  A couple years ago, I tried to get Kyler to ride the sled, (maybe it was last year), and he didn't really want to, or he would ride for a few seconds and then want off and was done.  But this year both kids wanted to go again and again.  We didn't make it to a sledding hill to go down, but I have a feeling that this will be something we will do in the future!
