Double Good Day!

We knew that we didn't have school or work today because of Martin Luther King Day, but we didn't know we would wake up to at least four inches of new soft snow! We have a standing invitation from our friends who have a great snow hill and so we went out this morning and went sledding. The kids had a great time and Dad joined right in teh sledding and snow ball fighting. Mom and her friend Carrie took pictures. MEgan loved the sled, the snowballs and everything selse. Liz and nathan went up and down the hill countless times and Michael just enjoyed it all, even when someon slid into him and he landed on top of them. All he could say was, "Did you see that? That was cool!" All in all it was a great morning and everyone is enjoying a great nap.

Snow! Snow! Snow!

With new snow pants for Liz and nathan and seven fresh inches of snow this week it was time to go out and play! The kids had a ball. They stayed warm and dry despite their "falling" into the snow, running in the snow, throwing snow up into the air and best of all making a hill out of snow. IT was "huge" when they described it, but it was probably about eighteen inches. Megan was so cute. I thought she would stand around, but she joined right in. She tromped through the snow with grins and giggles. At one point she fell prtty much flat on her tummy and I thought she would be done, but after three failed attempts to stand up she succeeded and was just as thrilled about it all!

A sleigh ride

Dad and the kids went on a sleigh ride with Grandma and Grandpa Chantry (Mom was sick). Everyone had a ball. Nathan loved watching the elk come eat right off the sleigh, and everyone enjoyed seeing puppies afterwards.
