Snow Days!

This past week we got a very good amount of snow. It's been awhile since it snowed so much and it was so much fun now that the children are a bit older. I believe we got up to 8-9 inches. It was a winter wonderland! We took full advantage of the snow with several activities including: making snow cream, attempting to build a snowman, having snow ball fights, and sledding. The sledding was the best part. We took the children after dinner one night and it is up there in my "favorite memories with our children" list. So much fun. We went down a couple hills in our neighborhood. I was so surprised how Everett, Hampton, and even Ellie took to it. They would just jump on the sled and away they flew! Eric and I participated too. Pure fun.

Our view from the living room.

 The back deck. Our turtle sandbox is almost completely covered!
 Eleanor snow gazing. She had to wear her snowgirl shirt for the occasion.
 What our front entryway looked like after sledding. Six people+ winter gear=lots of stuff!

 The next day we went sledding in our backyard. 
 Away they go! 




We had so much fun enjoying the snow, but I think I'm now ready for Spring!
