First Snow

Well it took a few months, but we finally had our first "real" snow of the season a few weeks ago (I don't count that one fluke snowstorm in October...it was wacky and we weren''t ready for it back then!)
The kids had been itching to get some snow since we finally had all the snowgear they would need to truly enjoy it this year....good coats, hats, waterproof gloves, boots and snowpants!!
When they woke up to snow on Saturday morning, they wanted to be out playing in it before they even had breakfast...




We only got about 3 inches of snow, but it was enough for Jason and the kids to make this fun sledding ramp in our front yard. Abby and Landon spent hours going down it and it quickly became a neighborhood hit with lots of other kids who live nearby.



Abby, Landon and Jason spent about 5 hours outside enjoying all the white stuff, only coming in briefly for a hot chocolate break! Nolan and I preferred to enjoy it all from the comforts of our nice warm home! I'm sure Nolan will be enjoying all the snow action next year though!
