Snow.....FINALLY!!!

We had such a wonderful winter last year. It was a record year for snowfall. I knew that it was abnormal for this area, but I was hoping that we would get a small taste of that again. I LOVE SNOW! Thankfully, so do my children. We were finally blessed to have enough snow to go sledding.
Eliza went down only once. I think it scared her. From then on she was content to stand at the top of the hill and cheer everyone down.
Abi and Everett couldn't get enough.
Zachary was brave and decided he was old enough to go on his own. Yay!!
Once they had had enough of sliding down a hill, it was time to chase Abi. Um, yeah, good luck with that! She's quick.
I think Zachary's favorite part of the snow is throwing snowballs. This is the face he would always have after he hit someone. I was off limits because I was holding Sariah.
It wasn't too cold, until the occasional gust of wind would come and threaten to blow us all away.
Zachary could only get in a good shot if he did it while Everett wasn't looking. Whether it be a snowball......
....or a tackle.
Once everyone was wet and cold, they were begging to go inside. If we had actual snow gear, I'm sure they would stay out for a really long time. I was amazed that they lasted 45 minutes in jeans, running shoes, and cotton gloves.

It seriously has not stopped snowing here. It snows everyday!! So feel free to come up here when ever you want to play in the snow! But you definitely need real winter clothes here because it is freezing. Glad that kids had fun!!
